What you'll learn

---

Install, configure, and master Claude Code from scratch - no prior AI coding experience required
Build custom slash commands and skills to automate your own repetitive coding workflows
Connect Claude Code to external tools and data sources using MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Delegate complex tasks to sub-agents and custom agents to speed up real development work
Use Claude Code inside a real GitHub workflow - creating issues, opening pull requests, and reviewing code
Add automated tests with Playwright, driven entirely through Claude Code
Recognize and avoid the common gotchas that trip up new Claude Code users
Requirements

---

No programming experience required - this course does not teach programming concepts, just how to work with Claude Code
A Claude account with a plan that includes Claude Code access (Pro Plan at least)
A free GitHub account for the sections on GitHub integration - we'll show you how to create one if you don't have it
Curiosity and a willingness to experiment - that's genuinely it
Description

---

AI isn't just finishing your sentences anymore - it's reading your codebase, planning multi-step changes, running your tests, fixing what breaks, and opening the pull request, while you direct the whole thing from your terminal. That's Claude Code. And right now, most developers are only scratching the surface of what it can actually do.
This course is built to change that - fast.
Why Enroll in This Course?
Because you don't have time to waste. This isn't a 20-hour course that spends half its runtime slowly building one toy app while you watch a progress bar. This is a fast, hands-on, no-fluff path to genuinely mastering Claude Code - every core capability, taught in realistic context, with the honest gotchas included that most tutorials conveniently leave out.
Whether you're a developer who wants to 10x your workflow, or you've never written a line of code and just want to see what's actually possible with AI-powered development - this course meets you where you are and gets you moving immediately.
What Makes This Course Different
Most Claude Code content out there falls into one of two traps: it either spends hours slowly completing one polished app while explaining almost nothing aboutwhy things work, or it rushes through a dry feature list with no real context behind it.
This course does neither.
We work through everything - CLAUDE instruction file, context management, custom commands, MCP, skills, sub-agents, multi-agent workflows - using one realistic sample project. You'll see every feature in action, the way you'd actually encounter it on real work, without us burning hours polishing that project into a finished product. Building a shippable app was never the point - mastering Claude Code is.
And we don't pretend Claude Code is magic that never trips you up. Every powerful tool has sharp edges - places where context quietly gets dropped, where a skill doesn't trigger the way you expected, where a sub-agent does something surprising. We hit several of these on purpose, on camera, so you recognize them instantly instead of losing an afternoon to them on a real deadline.
Ready to Actually Master Claude Code?
You already know AI-assisted development isn't going away - the only question is whether you're using it well or just scratching the surface. This course gets you from "I've heard of Claude Code" to "I use this productively every single day," as fast as we can honestly get you there.
Enroll now, and let's get started.
