About this event
Ever wanted to build your own marketplace app, like Airbnb, Fiverr, or Etsy, but thought you needed to be a developer?
Join us for a live, hands-on workshop where Cameron Booth from Xano walks you through building a fully working two-sided marketplace from scratch, using AI to do the heavy lifting.
No coding experience needed!
In this session, you'll see how to:
🔧 Design and think through a marketplace system — who's involved, what they can do, and how it all connects
🗄️ Set up your database and user accounts using plain-language prompts and AI
🔗 Build the logic that powers search, bookings, and payments (including Stripe)
🖥️ Get a working front end up and running so you can actually test the whole thing
Cameron will be using AI coding tool Cursor for this workshop, so you'll also get a lesson in one of the leading developer tools for AI engineering!
What you'll walk away with:
✅ A clear mental model for how to think about building apps - not just this one
✅ Confidence that you can build real software, even if you've never written a line of code
✅ A repeatable approach you can use for your own app ideas
Who is this for?
This workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly — we'll explain concepts in plain English and avoid unnecessary jargon.
That said, you'll get the most out of it if you've already started dabbling. Maybe you've played around with tools like Cursor, Lovable, or Bolt.
Maybe you've built a simple app or automation and you're ready for something more ambitious. You don't need to know how to code, but a basic comfort with tech and a willingness to follow along will go a long way.
If terms like "database" and "API" sound vaguely familiar (even if you couldn't define them on the spot), you're in the right place.

This is a collaboration between Create With and Xano - bringing together practical AI-powered building with one of the most powerful no-code backend platforms out there.
Whether you're exploring your first app idea or you've been vibe-coding and want to level up, this one's for you.
