This is a build-it-yourself course. Over two days, you will use Claude Code to create a working desktop application, refactor it into a multi-tier system, and then break it apart into microservices. Along the way you will extend Claude Code itself with skills, tools, hooks, and plugins, and learn how to manage its context so it performs well on large codebases.

Course Overview

The point is not to watch Claude generate code. It is to learn the habits that make AI-assisted development produce software that is reliable, secure, maintainable, and easy for the next developer to understand. You will work across multiple platforms and languages, from Node.js to .NET, so the techniques carry over to whatever stack your team runs.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Autocomplete finishes your line. Claude Code takes on whole tasks. You describe what you need in plain language and it can write the code, explain its design choices, create tests, refactor across files, and produce documentation. Because it holds context across a project, you can work at the level of features and architecture while still reviewing and controlling everything that ships.

Probably, yes. Most teams use these tools at a fraction of their capacity. The gap between "gets suggestions" and "manages context, writes custom skills, chains agents, and automates testing" is exactly what this course covers. The second day in particular goes well past what casual use teaches you.

No, and this course assumes the opposite. Getting good results from Claude Code depends on engineering judgment: knowing sound architecture when you see it, spotting security problems, insisting on tests, and reviewing output critically. What changes is where your time goes. Less typing boilerplate, more directing and evaluating the work.

The labs span several stacks, including Node.js and .NET, because the workflow matters more than the language. Whatever your team builds in, the techniques apply.
