This workbook teaches non-technical people how to build and deploy functional web applications using AI assistance. You don't need to know how to code. You don't need a computer science degree. You just need an idea and the willingness to try.

I wrote this for librarians, but it works for anyone who's been told "you're not technical enough" to build the tools you need.

What you'll build: A real, working web application that lives on the internet. Not a mockup. Not a prototype. An actual tool people can use.
