Mastering Claude Code: From Setup to Real Projects

Overzicht

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.
