Getting Started: Claude Code
Go from your first prompt to real development workflows with Claude Code.
"It worked yesterday. Today it keeps forgetting what I told it."
You installed Claude Code. You asked it to write a function. It did. So you asked for something bigger, and it rewrote three files you didn't want touched.
Now you're an hour into a session, repeating yourself, wondering if you're holding it wrong.
You are. But not in the way you think.
Claude Code isn't autocomplete with a bigger box. It's a tool with its own rules about context, cost, and control. Once you know those rules, the guessing stops.
What you'll learn
- How context actually works, and why your session drifts when you ignore it
- How to set up a project so Claude understands it before you type a word
- Development workflows that hold up on real codebases, not toy examples
- Which model to reach for, and what each one costs you
- Git workflows that keep you in control of what lands
- How to customise Claude Code around the way you already work
By the end you'll have a setup on your machine that you can use on Monday.
What this course is not
It's not a prompt collection you'll stop using in a month. It's not a tour of every flag in the docs. And it's not a pitch that AI writes your code while you watch.
You still do the engineering. This is about the tool getting out of your way.
