Claude Code & Next.js: Build a Full-Stack Instagram Clone

Build & Deploy a Full-Stack Instagram Clone with AI (Claude Code + Next.js)

Have you ever wondered how apps like Instagram are actually built?

In this course, you won’t just learn theory — you’ll build a complete, production-ready Instagram clone from scratch using modern tools and real-world development practices.

But this course goes beyond traditional coding.

Software development has changed. Today, it’s no longer just about writing every line of code manually — it’s about working effectively with AI.

You’ll learn how to use Claude Code as a powerful development partner. You’ll understand how to write structured prompts, guide AI to generate high-quality code, debug and refine outputs, and think like a developer in an AI-powered workflow. This approach, known as agentic development, is quickly becoming an essential skill in the industry.

By the end of this course, you will build a fully functional Instagram clone with real features, including user authentication, creating and sharing posts, likes and comments, user profiles, and a stories system — all structured in a clean, scalable architecture.

You will also gain hands-on experience with modern technologies such as Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Tailwind CSS, Clerk, and UploadThing, along with AI-powered development using Claude Code.

This course is designed to help you go beyond tutorials. You’ll learn how to build real-world applications, structure scalable projects, integrate authentication and databases, handle file uploads, and implement features that modern apps require.

By the end, you won’t just have another project — you’ll have a production-ready application and a skillset that matches what the current job market expects.

This course is ideal for developers who want to build portfolio-ready projects, intermediate developers aiming to level up to full-stack development, and anyone interested in learning how to work with AI in modern software development.

To get the most out of this course, you should have a basic understanding of JavaScript and React. No prior experience with AI tools is required.
