From "I Can't Code" to
Shipping Apps in 60 Days
8 weeks of live sessions, hands-on projects, and community support. Build real AI-powered applications using n8n, Claude Code, and Cursor — no coding experience required.
One-time payment. Lifetime access.
Why Now?
The AI landscape has shifted dramatically. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and n8n have lowered the barrier to building software to almost zero.
But here's the thing: most people don't know how to use them effectively.
They spend hours watching YouTube tutorials, getting stuck, and eventually giving up. They have a folder full of half-finished projects and a growing list of "app ideas" that never see the light of day.
Zero to Builder changes that.
The 8-Week Transformation
Discover & Automate
"I have a clear idea and working automations"
Communicate & Build
"I can talk to AI and build real apps"
Ship & Expand
"I can build and deploy full applications"
Productize & Launch
"I can ship products and make money"
This isn't about learning to code in the traditional sense. It's about learning to direct AI to build what you want.
Week by Week
Discover Your Build
Shift from consumer to builder mindset. Use the Problem Mining framework and Build Compass to find an idea worth building, then set up your dev environment.
Deliverable: One-page Build Brief + working development environment.
Visual Automation Foundations
Learn n8n from scratch — triggers, actions, logic, and data flow. Build and deploy your first working automations.
Projects: Personal news briefing + email triage assistant.
Master AI Communication
Master the ICE Framework (Identity, Context, Examples) and four prompt patterns. Set up Cursor with MCP integrations for supercharged development.
Key insight: The quality of your prompts determines the quality of your builds.
Build Your First Apps
Connect frontends to backends. Build webhooks, simple web interfaces, and your first end-to-end functioning app.
Projects: Form handler with AI response + personal project app.
Building with Cursor
Master Cursor's Agent mode and the Agentic Coding Protocol. Build multi-component React apps and deploy to Vercel.
Project: SlideForge — a markdown-to-slides presentation app.
Expanding with Claude Code
Quick builds, Chrome extensions, and deployment. Learn when to use Claude Code vs Cursor, and take your project from local to live.
Outcome: Working Chrome extension + main project deployed live.
Productize Your Build
Turn your project into a product. Build a landing page, set up payment with Stripe, and create a compelling offer.
Deliverable: Live landing page with payment system configured.
Launch and Beyond
Ship publicly, collect feedback, and create your 90-day Builder plan. Launch across your network, communities, and platforms.
Goal: Public launch + external validation (sale, user, or testimonial).

What Our Students Say
From the Cohort 1 founding class — rated 8.6/10 overall with a +64 NPS score.
"Great energy. Totally agree with your process to get a good idea before building. Felt like a great use of time — covered the key topics and inspired me to find out more about other areas."
T. Arnott
Zero to Builder Student
"I found the session really useful as it introduced some n8n and Claude functionality I hadn't come across before. I start my new job next week and I am very glad I am attending this course — I want to be equipped with relevant and useful knowledge to help me hit the ground running, and this is perfect for that."

About the Instructor
I'm Jonathan Chan. I left a $420K corporate job to build products and teach others how to do the same.
I've built AI automations that handle customer support, content creation, and lead qualification. I've shipped apps using Claude Code and Cursor. And I've helped dozens of non-technical people build their first products.
Now I want to help you.

Stop collecting app ideas that never get built. The tools are ready. The curriculum is ready. The only question is: are you?
Live sessions: Every Thursday at 12:00pm AEDT (Sydney time), starting March 19th, 2026. All sessions are recorded with lifetime access.
