Bolt training courses
Full-stack prototypes right in the browser: generate web apps from prompts with Bolt, run them in WebContainers and deploy them.
Bolt by StackBlitz generates working full-stack applications from prompts and runs them straight away in the browser. WebContainers make this possible: a Node.js runtime runs entirely inside the browser tab, complete with package installation, dev server and terminal. In this one-day course you learn how to build prototypes quickly with React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Astro or Node.js backends, how to structure prompts and project instructions, and how to steer the agent precisely rather than letting it rewrite large parts of your app unchecked.
The course combines fast results with sound engineering practice. You read and edit the generated code in the built-in editor, fix errors using the terminal and console, connect databases and authentication, and export projects to GitHub or as an archive. You then publish your application and learn how to keep token consumption, context size and project scope under control. By the end you know exactly which projects Bolt gets to a clickable result fastest, and at what point moving to a local development environment makes sense.
Core content of every Bolt course
Module 1 Understanding Bolt and WebContainers
- Architecture: Node.js, npm and dev server running entirely in the browser
- Supported frameworks and starter templates at a glance
- Capabilities and limits of the browser runtime, for instance with native binary packages
- Using editor, preview, terminal and file tree efficiently
Module 2 Prompting and project control
- Writing a precise first prompt: stack, pages, data model, style
- Project and system instructions for recurring conventions
- Discussion mode for planning, build mode for implementing
- Iterating in small steps, locking files and rolling back versions
Module 3 Full stack: data, auth and APIs
- Database and authentication via the built-in backend integration or Supabase
- Building API routes and server-side logic with Node.js
- Connecting external APIs and managing keys through environment variables
- Creating mobile prototypes with Expo and testing them on a device
Module 4 Debugging and code quality
- Feeding terminal and browser console errors back to the agent effectively
- Reading, understanding and manually correcting generated code
- Keeping structure, component boundaries and TypeScript types clean
- Managing token usage and context size as projects grow
Module 5 Deployment and handover
- Publishing your app in one click and connecting a custom domain
- Exporting to GitHub and continuing locally in VS Code, Cursor or Claude Code
- Security review: secrets, access rights, input validation
- Decision criteria: evolve the prototype or rebuild it properly
What you will be able to do
- You can explain how WebContainers work and judge which projects run well in Bolt.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a local development environment for Bolt?
No. Thanks to WebContainers, package installation, dev server and terminal all run in the browser, so nothing needs to be installed locally. Only when you want to develop a project long term or integrate it into an existing toolchain does exporting to GitHub and working in a local editor pay off. We practise both in the course.
How is Bolt different from Lovable?
Both generate web apps from prompts. Bolt offers more freedom in choosing a framework and exposes code, terminal and file tree very directly, which suits developers who want to stay close to the code. Lovable relies on a fixed React stack with a stronger focus on design iteration and Supabase. The right choice depends on project and team.
Can I build mobile apps with Bolt?
Yes. Through the Expo integration you can generate React Native prototypes and test them on your phone with Expo Go. This works well for simple apps and clickable prototypes. Native device features, app store publishing and complex offline logic usually call for local development, and the course explains where that boundary lies.
Prerequisites
Basic JavaScript or TypeScript skills and an understanding of common web concepts such as components, APIs and databases. Technically minded business users can follow along well too.
A laptop with an up-to-date Chromium-based browser or Firefox, a Bolt account (a paid plan for intensive use) and a free GitHub account.
