 Vibe coding is an approach to programming that uses AI tools, such as GitHub Copilot Agent, to generate software. Instead of manually writing code, a user provides a natural language description of their intended app, and the AI generates the corresponding code. This shifts the programmer's role from traditional coding to guiding, testing, and refining the AI-generated output.
 
-In this exercise, you use a vide coding process and GitHub Copilot Agent to create a prototype version of an online shopping app. Your prototype app includes the following pages: products, product details, shopping cart, and checkout. The app includes basic navigation between pages and a limited dataset that helps to demonstrate app features. The prototype doesn't include any backend functionality, such as user authentication, payment processing, or database integration.
