Introduction to Claude Code
Go from first install to production pipelines — master the CLI that writes, tests, and ships code for you.
What You'll Learn
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, manages git, and handles multi-step engineering tasks — all from a single conversation.
This course starts with installation and basic usage, then works through the features that make Claude Code powerful: custom instructions, slash commands, MCP integrations, subagent orchestration, and headless pipeline automation.
Who This Is For
- Developers who want to ship faster with AI-assisted coding
- Tech leads evaluating agentic tools for their teams
- Anyone comfortable in a terminal who wants to understand what "agentic coding" actually means in practice
What You'll Walk Away With
- A fully configured Claude Code setup tuned to your workflow
- Hands-on experience with every major feature
- A working Python pipeline that orchestrates Claude Code in headless mode with structured JSON output
- Confidence to build repeatable, automated coding workflows
Prerequisites
- Comfortable using a terminal (bash/zsh)
- Basic git knowledge
- An Anthropic API key (or a Max subscription)
- Python 3.10+ for the final pipeline lessons
