We don't teach theory. We teach people to ship. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Marketing Manager
Jordan T.
Negotiated a $30,000 salary increase by building internal tools her team needed — dashboards, automated reporting systems, and client-facing portals. Her company stopped hiring contractors for work she now handles herself.
Landscaping Business Owner
Marcus B.
Eliminated $36,000/year in dev costs by rebuilding his booking system and client portal. Started building tools for other small businesses — generating $16,500 in side revenue his first year.
Freelance Designer
Sarah K.
Added web development to her service offerings within weeks. Completed 8 client projects in her first 6 months and added $65,000 in new annual revenue to her freelance business.
These aren't outliers. They're the pattern.
From Zero to Shipped
Three students. Three completely different backgrounds. All building real products within weeks.
Derek P.
Corporate PM to SaaS Founder
4 weeks to launch
Before
Spent 8 years as a product manager at a Fortune 500. Had a SaaS idea for 3 years but every developer quoted him $40K-$80K to build it.
After
Built and launched his project management tool for construction teams during the bootcamp. Hit $4,200 MRR within 90 days of deploying. Quit his corporate job 5 months later.
Nina R.
Photographer to Client Tool Builder
6 weeks to revenue
Before
Running a photography business with scattered invoices, manual booking, and a Squarespace site she hated. Paying $400/month across 6 different SaaS tools.
After
Built a unified client portal with booking, contracts, galleries, and payments. Eliminated all 6 subscriptions. Now licenses her portal to other photographers for $99/month — 14 paying users and counting.
Tyler W.
Complete Beginner to Hired Developer
12 weeks to hired
Before
Working as a barista with a communications degree. Zero technical background. Watched coding YouTube videos for months but never built anything.
After
Deployed 3 apps during the bootcamp and added them to his portfolio. Got hired as a junior product engineer at a startup within 8 weeks of graduating. Starting salary: $85,000.
In 4 Weeks, You'll Ship Things Most People Think Require an Engineering Team
Our students don't build toy projects. They build tools they actually use — and tools other people pay for.
You'll leave the bootcamp with at least one fully deployed, working application. Most students leave with two or three.

Describe. Direct. Deploy.
A framework built for the AI era. Not syntax — thinking.
Describe
Articulate exactly what you want built. Clear specifications, user flows, data models. The skill isn't typing code — it's thinking clearly about what software should do.
Direct
Work with AI coding tools the way a senior engineer works with junior developers. Give instructions, review output, course-correct, and iterate. You're the technical lead.
Deploy
Ship to the real internet. Vercel for hosting. Supabase for databases. Stripe for payments. Custom domains. Real users. Not localhost demos.
8 sessions across 4 weeks. By session 3, you're deploying. By session 8, you've built something you can show to clients, employers, or customers.

This Bootcamp Was Built for You If...
You're a non-technical founders sitting on an app idea that's been waiting for a developer. You'll leave with a working MVP.
You're a freelancers and consultants turning down projects that need technical work. You'll add a new revenue stream.
You're a career switchers who see AI changing every industry and want to be on the building side.
You're a professionals in marketing, ops, sales, or design who keep submitting tickets to engineering and waiting weeks.
You're a small business owners paying developers for tools you could build and maintain yourself.
You don't need to know how to code. That's the whole point.
Skip This If...
You want a traditional computer science education with algorithms and data structures.
You want to build low-level systems software, game engines, or ML models from scratch.
You're not willing to put in 5-8 hours per week for 4 weeks.
You just want to "learn about AI" without building anything.
Meet Your Instructor
Drew Shaulson
Founder, Xero Coding
Builder, educator, and founder of multiple AI-powered products — including CARMA, used by 5,000+ people with a 4.9-star rating.
Drew has helped 100+ students go from zero coding experience to shipping real, deployed applications. His background spans tech, AI, and education, and he built Xero Coding to close the gap between “I have an idea” and “I shipped it.”
Every session is taught live by Drew — no TAs, no pre-recorded lectures. You get direct access to someone who builds production software every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Over 70% of our students have zero coding background. The Describe-Direct-Deploy framework is specifically designed for non-technical people. If you can clearly describe what you want software to do, you can build it.
Claude Code (AI coding assistant), Cursor (AI-powered code editor), v0 (UI generation), Vercel (deployment and hosting), Supabase (database and authentication), and Stripe (payments). These are the same tools startups and indie hackers use to build products today.
Plan for 5-8 hours per week across 4 weeks. That includes the live sessions (roughly 2 hours each, twice per week) plus time to work on your project between sessions.
You have lifetime access to all course materials and recordings. The student community stays active between cohorts. And you can join a future cohort at no additional cost to catch up.
Yes. Every student deploys at least one working application during the bootcamp. It will be live on the internet with a real URL. Many students deploy two or three projects.
Absolutely — that's encouraged. Builder and End-to-End Business tier students get direct guidance scoping their project before the bootcamp even starts. Foundation tier students can bring any project to the sessions and get community support.
No. You'll learn project architecture, database design, deployment workflows, authentication, payment integration, and how to debug and iterate. The AI tools are how you execute — but you still need to understand what you're building and why.
Three ways: (1) You build YOUR project, not a tutorial project. (2) You get live feedback from Drew and a cohort of peers. (3) You deploy to production — not localhost.
If you attend the first two sessions and feel the bootcamp isn't for you, we'll refund your enrollment in full. No questions, no hassle.
Yes. Book a free 30-minute strategy call with Drew. No pitch, no pressure. We'll talk about your goals and whether the bootcamp is the right fit.
Stop Waiting for a Developer. Become the Builder.
