Description

This course is a complete, hands-on guide to Claude Code for developers. You'll start from installation and work your way through real workflows, advanced customization features, and three full app builds. Each section is focused, practical, and designed to help you use Claude Code effectively in your daily work.

You'll learn how to navigate the interface, manage context, and choose the right models and permission modes. Then you'll move into core development workflows — adding features, fixing bugs, refactoring, writing tests, and doing code reviews — before diving into Rules, Agent Skills, Hooks, Sub-Agents, and MCP server integrations.

By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how Claude Code works, how to configure it for real projects, and how to use its most powerful features to code faster and smarter.

What's in this course?

Get started by installing Claude Code and learning how to run it in Terminal, your IDE terminal, and the VS Code plugin.
Navigate the full interface: manage context, switch models, control thinking effort, set permission modes, and use slash commands.
Learn what Claude Code is, how it fits into daily development, and explore its plans, limitations, AI models, and privacy settings.
Practice common workflows: initialize projects, add features, fix bugs, refactor code, write tests, create documentation, and perform AI code reviews.
Understand how Claude Code works internally — the agentic loop, tools, sessions, context window, and checkpoints.
Learn Rules & Memories to make your workflow consistent and reusable across projects.
Explore Agent Skills to create on-demand expertise that activates only when needed.
