This course teaches developers how to use Claude Code to accelerate real-world software development. You will learn how to generate project plans, craft effective prompts, create initial scaffolds, and add AI-powered features. By the end, you will complete a functional AI-assisted project with best-practice workflows.

AI-assisted development is transforming how technical teams plan, build, and refine software. This course introduces a practical workflow for using Claude Code across the development lifecycle, beginning with setup, project creation, and structured planning. Learners are guided through the process of turning ideas into organized development tasks and using prompts to generate a strong project foundation. The course then moves into hands-on project generation, showing how to build files, structure components, add dependencies, and improve the application through iterative refinement. Each stage demonstrates how AI can support development decisions while keeping the developer in control of architecture, quality, and implementation. Learners also explore how to introduce AI-driven features and validate functionality through testing and review. By combining guided demonstrations, a practical challenge, and a full solution walkthrough, the course helps learners build confidence in applying AI-assisted workflows to real projects. The final lessons bring all components together into a complete working project, reinforcing best practices for prompt design, project planning, feature integration, and development optimization. This course is designed for software developers, technical professionals, engineering students, and AI-curious programmers who want to use Claude Code for faster project development. Learners should have basic programming knowledge, familiarity with command-line tools, and an understanding of software project structure. The course follows a project-first learning approach. Each concept is demonstrated through practical Claude Code workflows. Learners progress from setup to a complete AI-assisted application.
