2026 Mobile App Development With Replit AI - Vibe Coding
The way we build software has fundamentally changed. You no longer need years of traditional programming experience to create a mobile app. With modern AI tools like Replit, you can build real, functional mobile apps by collaborating intelligently with AI: a workflow known as vibe coding. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. Most people open an AI tool, type a vague prompt, copy some code, hit errors, and get stuck. This course teaches you how to do it properly. You will learn how to think like a product builder, structure your ideas clearly, guide AI effectively, debug with confidence, and turn rough prototypes into real mobile applications ready for users. What You’ll Learn By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Use Replit as a full development environment• Build front-end interfaces and basic back-end logic• Debug common errors without feeling overwhelmed• Improve mobile app usability and user experience• Prepare your app for publishing to app stores• Think like a modern AI-assisted developer This is not a “copy-paste some code and hope it works” class. This is a structured system for building apps intelligently in the AI era. What Makes This Course Different Most coding courses teach syntax. This course teaches decision-making. You’ll learn: • How to iterate quickly without breaking everything• How to move from prototype to polished product You’ll also learn how to use AI as a collaborative partner instead of treating it like a magic black box. Who This Course Is For This course is ideal for: • Entrepreneurs who want to build their own apps instead of outsourcing• Course creators and consultants building digital tools• Side-hustlers testing app ideas• Professionals curious about AI-assisted development• Beginners who feel intimidated by traditional coding You do not need prior coding experience. You do need curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Why This Skill Matters The future belongs to people who can build. AI is not replacing developers, it is multiplying the capabilities of those who understand how to guide it. Vibe coding is not about avoiding effort. It is about directing intelligence, human and artificial, toward creating real products. When you finish this course, you won’t just understand how mobile apps work. You will have built one.

Imperial College London
Introduction to Statistics & Data Analysis in Public Health
Welcome to Introduction to Statistics & Data Analysis in Public Health! This course will teach you the core building blocks of statistical analysis - types of variables, common distributions, hypothesis testing - but, more than that, it will enable you to take a data set you've never seen before, describe its keys features, get to know its strengths and quirks, run some vital basic analyses and then formulate and test hypotheses based on means and proportions. You'll then have a solid grounding to move on to more sophisticated analysis and take the other courses in the series. You'll learn the popular, flexible and completely free software R, used by statistics and machine learning practitioners everywhere. It's hands-on, so you'll first learn about how to phrase a testable hypothesis via examples of medical research as reported by the media. Then you'll work through a data set on fruit and vegetable eating habits: data that are realistically messy, because that's what public health data sets are like in reality. There will be mini-quizzes with feedback along the way to check your understanding. The course will sharpen your ability to think critically and not take things for granted: in this age of uncontrolled algorithms and fake news, these skills are more important than ever. Prerequisites Some formulae are given to aid understanding, but this is not one of those courses where you need a mathematics degree to follow it. You will need only basic numeracy (for example, we will not use calculus) and familiarity with graphical and tabular ways of presenting results. No knowledge of R or programming is assumed.
