From Vibing to Agentic Engineering: Learn Software Engineering by Building, Verifying, and Shipping an App with AI Agents

By Vincent Lee

AI can generate code in seconds. Engineering is knowing what to trust, what to test, and when to stop.

Follow Maya, Eli, and Noor as their team builds a small app with AI agents-from turning a user request into clear acceptance checks to reviewing generated code, protecting data, and rehearsing a release.

Learn how tokens, context windows, and prompt caching shape cost; how to choose models and tools without buying every subscription; and how repositories, instructions, skills, plugins, subagents, and harnesses keep agent work focused. Compare VectorRAG, GraphRAG, RAPTOR, and Open Knowledge Format on a concrete example, then inspect AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and reliability.

No software-engineering background or earlier book in the series is required. Each concept moves from a plain-language explanation to a practical check you can run and evidence you can evaluate.

Build faster. Verify what matters. Ship with confidence.
