Vibe Coding with Cursor, Windsurf, and Lovable: Build Apps Fast with AI-Assisted Software Development and Testing

A Practical Route to AI-Assisted App Building

Greg Lim’s hands-on guide introduces vibe coding as a way to move from manually writing every line to guiding AI agents with natural language. Instead of wrestling with syntax, you use Cursor, Windsurf, and Lovable to build, test, and deploy applications faster.

What Vibe Coding Actually Looks Like

The book doesn’t stay theoretical. It walks through real workflows that show how prompting, refining, and iterating with AI can produce working software.

Work Through Concrete Steps

• Set up Cursor,, and Git
• Compare traditional development with vibe coding
• Write software specifications that guide AI output
• Iterate on features with version control rollbacks
• Add automated tests and debug them
• Control AI behavior with rules
• Refactor code and provide context by referencing resources
• Integrate GitHub and deploy applications

Move Beyond Cursor with Lovable and Windsurf

The second half explores no-code/low-code building with Lovable, including Supabase integration, adding functionality, extracting source code via GitHub, and handling domain and external hosting. Windsurf chapters focus on analyzing existing code bases, adding features, rules, workflows, and deployment.

Built on Learning by Doing

Greg Lim’s teaching background shows in the step-by-step approach. Each chapter builds on the previous, so you can see how individual techniques combine into a complete development flow. The material is practical rather than abstract, with examples that invite you to follow along.

Who Will Find This Useful

Developers curious about AI pair-programming tools, students, and self-taught builders will find a clear path from installation through deployment. Even experienced programmers can use the book as a structured introduction to Cursor, Windsurf, and Lovable without needing prior experience with these specific tools.
