Claude Code can help you move faster in day-to-day development by turning ideas into working code from your terminal. In this practical course, you’ll learn how to install and run Claude Code, understand its interface, and apply it to real workflows like adding features, fixing bugs, refactoring, writing tests, and generating documentation. Throughout the course, you’ll explore: Getting started with Claude Code: Create an account, install Claude Code (and NVM/Node.js when needed), and run it in Terminal, an IDE terminal, and the VS Code plugin. Navigate the Claude Code interface: Work with the chat interface, manage context, switch models, control thinking effort, and choose the right permission mode for each task. Getting to know Claude Code: Understand why to use it, common developer use cases, payment plans and limitations, AI model limitations, and data privacy basics. Practice common workflows: Initialize a project, ask Claude Code to add features, troubleshoot and fix bugs, refactor code, delegate writing tests, generate documentation, and perform AI code review. Learn rules and memories: Use Rules & Memories to make Claude Code follow consistent instructions, and apply popular patterns and templates for repeatable work. Explore agent skills: Understand Agent Skills, review popular skills and templates, and create your own skills to automate recurring workflows. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use Claude Code with confidence: set it up correctly, provide better context, and use a repeatable workflow to ship code faster.

This course empowers you to transition from manually organizing your desktop to delegating complex, multi-step workflows to an autonomous AI assistant. You will learn how to leverage Claude Cowork as your digital Chief of Staff to automate tedious administrative tasks directly on your hard drive. We will cover how to establish strict safety frameworks, bulk-rename messy files, extract clear action items from unstructured meeting notes, and build intelligent background queues that execute while you step away from your screen. Unlike standard AI courses that focus entirely on browser-based prompting, this course bridges the gap between the web and your local environment. You will discover how agentic AI can synthesize raw Jira sprint data into executive reports, process images of receipts into clean CSV spreadsheets, and autonomously architect local Knowledge Bases. Whether you are a project manager drowning in raw data, a freelancer handling messy invoices, or a professional looking to reclaim hours of your day, this course provides a treasure trove of practical techniques. By treating AI as a collaborative partner rather than just a chatbot, you will stop acting as a data processor and step fully into the role of a strategic manager.
