Day 0! Welcome Aboard

Today, we’re not writing any code.

You’re doing something more important: planning when you’ll do this every day.

This challenge only works if you make time for it. Each lesson takes about an hour. The best students are the ones who block it off like an appointment with themselves — not something they’ll “get around to.”

Here’s the schedule I recommend:

1. Morning: Read the day’s email, watch the video, and mentally prepare.
2. Later that day: Sit down with your laptop (not your phone) and do the work.

If you can find one hour each day: early morning, during lunch, or after the kids go to bed then you’ll make massive progress.

To make it stick, tell someone what you’re doing.

Post it on LinkedIn or X.

That little public accountability goes a long way.

What You’ll Need

• A laptop or desktop computer (no phones for this one)
• A modern browser — I recommend Google Chrome 
• VS Code (your code editor — free to download)

All other tools and links are free and included with each lesson

How It Works

• Every day, check your email for a new lesson (Days 1–5).
• Each lesson includes a video, written walkthrough, and code examples.
• Follow along in real time — typing things out yourself is the only way to really learn.

By the end, you’ll have a working web app that connects to AI. Something you can actually show off.

If You Get Stuck

If something breaks, doesn’t load, or you’re just plain confused — email me directly:

No bots, no automated replies — just real feedback and help.

One Last Thing

You’ve probably collected more tutorials than you’ve ever finished.

Don’t let this be another one.

Carve out your hour.

Do the work.

You’ll be shocked by how far you get in five days.

Let’s do this.

See you tomorrow for Day 1 — where we’ll get your setup ready and write your very first line of code.
