Learn how to develop apps with Cursor AI.
Description
Book Introduction
Plan with Chat GPT and develop with Cursor AI.
From launching on the Google Play Store to monetizing with ads… .
A practical guidebook covering the entire process of one-person development.
Even if you're not a coding expert, an era has opened where you can develop on your own as long as you have an idea.
This book covers in detail all the core concepts and usage methods required to develop Flutter apps using Cursor AI, and accompanies the entire app development process from A to Z, from setting up a development environment using Android Studio to registering and launching on the Google Play Store, and even monetizing with in-app advertising.
We will take the Pomodoro Timer app as our core project and expand its functions one by one by developing it directly with Flutter together with Cursor AI.
In the ideation stage, novel features are conceived through conversations with generative AI such as ChatGPT, and development requirements are organized based on this.
And then, with all these preparations in hand, we move on to AI and start coding in Flutter and Dart languages.

Publisher's Review
'Can I make an app by myself?'
AI has provided an answer to this question that everyone has probably thought about at least once.
The era of one-person development has arrived, where even non-experts with no coding experience can manage everything from planning to development, store launch, and even advertising revenue generation on their own, as long as they have an idea.
A book has been published that presents a detailed roadmap from planning to launch.
In the past, app development was often frustrated by technological barriers such as Java, Kotlin, React, Flutter, and Firebase.
However, the emergence of generative AI tools such as Cursor AI and ChatGPT is completely changing the development paradigm.
What matters now is not the complexity of the technology, but how actively we collaborate with AI to quickly turn ideas into reality.
This book accurately captures these changes of the times.
Readers will learn 'Vibe Coding', a new development method for the AI era, by creating their own Pomodoro timer app, 'Focuslet'.
'Vibe Coding' is an innovative development method that allows users to request AI in human language, such as "create this function," and obtain code without having to know any programming concepts.
The book's journey begins with the planning stage of defining the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of the 'Pomodoro Timer' with ChatGPT.
Afterwards, we set up a development environment including Flutter SDK and Android Studio, and begin full-scale coding with the AI code editor, ‘Cursor AI.’
In this process, readers learn the principles of collaboration, using AI not as a simple code generator that quickly creates the results humans want, but as an "AI pair programmer" and "personal tutor" that helps solve problems and completes the results together.
AI is no longer an option, but a necessity.
This book proves that anyone can become a "creator" through collaboration with AI, and is expected to be a significant turning point leading to the popularization of individual development.
