Who's Behind This
CodeBooks is built by SheCodes — a global coding education platform that has taught over 250,000 women to code. This is our gift to every student who wants to build with AI.
Built by SheCodes
The world's largest coding workshop for women
SheCodes has been teaching women to code since 2017. With students in over 100 countries, we've seen firsthand how AI is changing the way people build software. Vibe coding — describing what you want in plain English and letting AI build it — is opening doors for people who never thought they could create technology.
We built CodeBooks as a free, comprehensive reference for our students and for anyone learning to build with AI. Every guide is written in plain English, designed for beginners, and packed with ready-to-use prompts you can paste into any AI tool.

Free Access via SheDreams
Because where you're born shouldn't limit what you can build
The SheDreams Foundation provides free coding education to women in developing countries. Through SheDreams, thousands of women who otherwise couldn't afford access get full scholarships to SheCodes workshops — learning the same skills, using the same tools, and building the same projects.
CodeBooks is part of that mission. Every guide on this site is completely free, forever. We believe AI-powered coding is the great equalizer — anyone with an internet connection and the right guidance can build real technology, regardless of their background or where they live.
Want to help? Visit shedreamsfoundation.org to learn how you can support women in developing countries learning to code.
Why We Believe in AI Coding
Anyone can build
You don't need a computer science degree. If you can describe what you want, AI can help you build it.
Location doesn't matter
A woman in Lagos can build the same app as someone in San Francisco. All you need is an internet connection.
Learning by doing
The best way to learn is to build real projects. AI handles the syntax while you learn the concepts.
Community matters
Hundreds of thousands of SheCodes students are building with AI right now. You're not learning alone.
