Claude Code for Building Agents and Apps

Setting Up Claude Code and Your First Conversation

Learn how to install Claude Code on your machine, understand its terminal-based interface, and run your first prompt-driven task. This module covers everything from account setup to your first successful code interaction.

How LLMs Work: What Claude Actually Does

Understand the mechanics behind large language models — tokens, context windows, and next-token prediction — so you can write prompts that produce consistent, reliable results instead of guessing why Claude responds the way it does.

Writing Effective Prompts for Code and App Logic

Move beyond trial-and-error by learning the structural principles behind prompts that reliably produce working code — covering context-setting, specificity, decomposition, and iterative refinement.

Building a Simple App End-to-End with Claude Code

Walk through the complete lifecycle of building a working application with Claude Code — from plain-language description to running product — using a structured plan-then-build workflow. You'll learn how to move through planning, scaffolding, and iterative refinement without getting lost or stuck.

Understanding Agents: Tools, Memory, and Multi-Step Tasks

Learn what separates an AI agent from a single prompt-response cycle, and how Claude can plan, use tools, retain memory, and execute sequences of actions to complete complex goals autonomously.

Building Your First Agent with Claude Code

Move from theory to practice by building a working agent inside Claude Code that uses tools, reasons across multiple steps, and completes a real task autonomously. You'll understand the agent loop, tool definitions, and how to wire it all together.

Debugging, Iterating, and Scaling Your Agent Apps

Learn a repeatable workflow for diagnosing wrong outputs from Claude Code, fixing them systematically, and progressively adding features without breaking what already works. This module gives you the mental models and practical techniques to move from a fragile prototype to a robust, scalable agent app.
