The book gives the method; the articles show it in action

Go to the reader area (in Chinese)FAQ
I can’t code at all. Will I understand this book?
This book was written for you. It assumes no programming background; Chapter 6 even tells you outright that what you need is to read code, not write it. Every example starts from a plain-language description of what you need.
Won’t the tools in the book go out of date quickly?
The book compares mainstream tools such as Cursor, Antigravity, Lovable, and Claude Code, but its focus is on a framework for choosing tools and on methods for working with AI. Tools change; the method doesn’t. Tool changes after publication are covered in the newsletter (in Chinese).
What will I be able to build after reading it?
The book’s hands-on path: your first to-do list app, your own website, a lead-magnet tool, a brand sales page, and an analytics dashboard. These are all things the author really runs on vista.tw and solo.tw, and the book recreates how they were built.
How does the book relate to the Vibe Coding workshop?
The book gives you the full method and map; the workshop is three hours of hands-on guidance where you build a website that can go live, with someone helping you avoid the pitfalls. The workshop is currently on hold; when it resumes, it will be announced in the newsletter. It is taught in Chinese.
When was it released, and where can I buy it?
It was published by GOTOP Information in September 2026 and is available at Books.com.tw, Tenlong Books, Eslite Online, Kingstone, San Min Books, and TCSB. It is a Traditional Chinese book sold in Taiwan; the “Where to buy” section above links directly to each store.
Can I look inside before deciding?
Yes. Chapter 1, “Welcome to the age of Vibe Coding,” and Chapter 4, “Your first Vibe Coding project,” are free to read in full, with all of the book’s illustrations. There are also three free online teaching slide decks, one of which is a chapter-by-chapter companion to the book. All are in Chinese.
