Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI coding agent — it reads your codebase, makes multi-file edits, runs tests, and iterates until the task is done. This course shows you how to use it effectively on real projects.
This is a text-first course that links out to the best supporting material on the internet instead of trying to replace it. The goal is to make this the best course on claude code you can find — even without producing a single minute of custom video.
Bo uses Claude Code on production federal AI projects every day. This course reflects real usage patterns, not a product demo.
Both Claude Code and Cursor are serious tools. This course is honest about when each is better and how to use them together.
The official Claude Code docs are excellent. This course links to relevant sections and adds the usage patterns the docs don't cover.
Each day is designed to finish in about an hour of focused reading plus hands-on work. No live classes, no quizzes.
Each day stands alone. Read them in order for the full picture, or jump straight to the day that answers the question you have today.
Installing Claude Code, authenticating with the Anthropic API, running your first agentic edit. Understanding the permission model and what Claude Code can access.
How Claude Code reads your project, the CLAUDE.md instruction file, efficient prompting for multi-file tasks. Let the agent figure out which files to change.
Having Claude Code write tests, run them, and fix failures. AI-assisted debugging workflows. Code review prompts that surface real issues.
End-to-end feature development: breaking down a feature request, delegating to Claude Code, reviewing output, iterating. The workflow for big tasks.
CLAUDE.md best practices, git worktree patterns for parallel agents, cost controls, and how to integrate Claude Code into a team development workflow.
Instead of shooting our own videos, we link to the best deep-dives already on YouTube. Watch them alongside the course. All external, all free, all from builders who ship this stuff.
Walkthroughs of Claude Code from Anthropic — setup, usage, and real coding workflow demonstrations.
Honest comparisons of Claude Code and Cursor — what each does better and when to use which tool.
How agentic coding tools use tool calling, file access, and terminal commands to work autonomously on codebases.
Using Claude Code with git worktrees for parallel agent workflows — running multiple agents on the same repository.
How to write CLAUDE.md instruction files that make Claude Code more effective on your specific project.
Production workflows using AI coding agents — cost management, quality control, and team integration patterns.
The best way to go deeper on any topic is to read canonical open-source implementations. These repositories implement the core patterns covered in this course.
