Build a Real Web App. See It Go Live
Join me for four weeks as we plan, build, debug, and deploy a real web application, using OpenAI Codex and AI-assisted development throughout the process. Open your editor and follow along on your own system—from frontend and backend to database, Git, server setup, deployment, and the fixes that come after launch.
Whether you're a student, designer, or career switcher, if you’ve learned some code but haven’t seen how a complete product gets to production, this is your chance to build through that process with guidance, real-time questions, and practical experience working with Codex as part of a modern development workflow.
Build alongside me, then apply it on your own system.
Each live session moves the same application forward. You’ll see the decisions, write along, work through problems between sessions, and bring your questions back as we prepare to launch.
Get the project plan
See the application we’re building, the problem it solves, and how we’ll move from setup to launch over four weeks.
Build live each week
Open your editor while I open mine. Follow the frontend, backend, database, and Git workflow as the application takes shape.
Keep building between sessions
Apply what we covered, use the documentation I share, and note the questions or errors you want us to work through.
Debug and deploy
Fix issues, prepare the application for production, configure the server and domain, and see it running live.
Come see how they fit together.
You don’t need to have deployed an app before. You do need to be ready to open your editor, follow along, practise between sessions, and ask questions when you get stuck.
- You’ve followed tutorials but haven’t built and launched a complete application.
- You’re learning web development and want to see a real project take shape.
- You can write some code but feel unsure about the backend, database, or deployment.
- You want to understand how developers use Git, debugging, and AI during a build.
- You’re ready to practise between sessions, even when things break.
- You want to see what it takes to put an application on a live server.
See how the whole application comes together.
Follow one project through planning, frontend and backend development, database work, Git, testing, debugging, server configuration, and deployment. The goal is to understand the workflow well enough to approach your next build with more confidence.
Current cohorts
October 2026 Founding Cohort: Build and Launch a Real Web App — with AI Agents + OpenAI Codex
Plan it. Build it. Debug it. Deploy it. See it running live.
Follow a real application from initial plan to live deployment. Build alongside Joshua, work through the bugs and decisions, and learn how the code, database, Git, and production server fit together.
