Understand hosting

There is AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Google Cloud and CloudFlare and Supabase and Netlify and Vercel and the list goes on and on...

You have to just pick one and go. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. And they affect things like which database you'll store data in, how well your app will scale to 100 users and then 10,000 users, and price.

And seperate from these are the App Stores. Apple has their App Store for iphone/ipad apps. And Google has the Play Store for android apps. Often you'll need both a hosting provider and these app stores.

Understand claude vs chatgpt

The original best AI Coding tool was claude-code by the company Anthropic. But then codex by OpenAI caught up and is just as good if not better. The name codex is confusing because openai also calls codex just ChatGPT and has a desktop version. Anthropic is doing the same with desktop version of something called just claude.

There is also lovable which is all browser based. A goal to work towards when trying to become an AI coding guru is not to fear the command line, aka terminal.

You need to pick codex or claude-code and pay their monthly fees, starting around $20 a month.

Understand reddit

This one might be the easiest as anyone can use reddit. You might already be someone that does.

Reddit has sub-reddits and messages and replies and voting and all sorts of features that make it a great project to try and re-create to learn how to code with AI.

When you become a student here we walk you through building a reddit clone called yapern which is like a tavern but no drinking just yaping.
