What you’ll walk away with

  • Get Claude Code running and complete a real task with it in your first 10 minutes
  • Write prompts that actually get Claude to do what you mean, instead of guessing and re-typing
  • Build your own mini-automation from scratch, without wrestling with scary setup steps

Where this leads

MVP Builder

You scoped, built, and shipped a real MVP with Claude Code — live on the internet for real people to use.

Questions people ask before they start

I've never written a line of code. Will I actually be able to follow this?

Yes — the course is built for non-developers specifically. Module one starts by explaining what Claude Code actually is and why 'being technical' isn't a requirement, then gets you doing something real within your first 10 minutes.

What will I have actually built by the end?

A real little AI helper and a mini-automation you set up yourself, plus the prompting skills and safety habits to keep building on your own — this comes from the 'Building Real Little Things' and 'Making It Yours' modules.

What if I get stuck or Claude gives me an error I don't understand?

There's a dedicated lesson for exactly this — 'When It Goes Sideways: Reading Errors Without Panic' — which walks through how to read errors calmly and figure out what to do next.

Does this cover connecting Claude to other tools, like an AI agent would?

Yes, at a gentle, beginner level. The 'Connecting Claude to Your Tools' lesson is an intro to agents, not a deep technical dive, so it fits the no-jargon pace of the rest of the course.

This is from a cybersecurity company — is safety actually covered, or just coding?

Safety is built into the curriculum, not bolted on. 'Good Habits: Safety, Secrets, and Not Breaking Things' covers how to handle secrets and avoid common mistakes as you start connecting Claude to real tools.

What happens after I finish the course — am I just on my own?

The final lesson, 'Where to Go Next: Your AI-Building Roadmap,' is specifically about giving you a path to keep building after the course ends, rather than leaving you at a dead stop.
