Claude Code for Beginners: 2 Day Intensive

The course offers three things YouTube can't:

(1) Personalized help when you're stuck with live Q+A and in-class support
(2) Accelerated progression from beginner to intermediate in a single weekend
(3) Accountability to actually build something, thanks to a cohort of peers and a Demo Day

Plus first access to material I haven't shared publicly yet.

Yes, if you haven't used Claude Code before or have only tried it briefly. You'll learn the fundamentals and build a real project in a weekend.

If you're already comfortable with Claude Code and want to integrate advanced agentic workflows into your planning, building, and testing, my Ship with Claude Code and Replit course is a better fit.

No, you do not need coding experience. The course is designed for people from a variety of technical backgrounds. Coding experience is not required.

You will learn how to use Claude Code to learn the technical concepts you need to build your projects.

Founders and PMs with zero coding background have successfully built and shipped apps using Claude Code.

In the course, you'll learn how to use Claude as a thought partner to help you learn quickly and make progress when you're stuck or in unfamiliar terrain.

I get it. But here's the thing: by learning to build with AI, you'll actually gain the technical skills you need along the way!

Many previous students with zero coding background have successfully built and shipped apps using Claude Code during the course.

The course is designed so you're never starting from a blank screen. You'll get a starter kit with sample prompts, checklists, and a recommended stack for building, plus curated resources including sample Skills, Commands, Subagents, and CLAUDE.md files you can use right away.

Yes. You don't need a project idea to enroll. I'll share sample project ideas and prompts before the course, and we'll help you choose one that fits your goals during the first session. Past students have built apps from scratch even when they came in with no idea what to build.

This course is structured to maximize your learning per unit time. Students will learn more in 2 focused days than weeks of spread-out content.

Multi-week courses sound nice but life often gets in the way. Two action-packed days cater to busy professional schedules, ensuring you actually learn the fundamentals and put them into practice.

I understand completely. That's exactly why this course is a single weekend vs. weeks or months.

Every topic is taught through a live demo, then immediately practiced during in-class build time. You walk out Sunday with a real project built.

All sessions are recorded if you can't attend live. And you get access to all materials after the course ends.

This course is designed for people who are new to Claude Code. If you're already comfortable with the basics and want to go deeper into advanced workflows (Multi-clauding, Ralph Wiggum, Team usage, Async usage etc) and shipping production apps, check out my 8-day AI Coding Accelerator Ship with Claude Code and Replit.

This course is a 2-day intensive for people new to Claude Code. You'll learn the fundamentals and build your first project. Ship with Claude Code and Replit is a 8-day course for people ready to go from intermediate to advanced — you'll build 3 projects and master multi-agent workflows, deployment, and production-ready development.

This course is for professionals who want to build real projects for themselves, their job, or business. You're welcome as a student, but note that course materials are proprietary and cannot be repurposed for your own courses or training.

This course teaches skills that directly lead to better outcomes for your company: shipping internal tools, accelerating development, and increasing individual productivity.

There is a strong case for employers to reimburse this course under Learning or Professional Development budgets. Maven also has a reimbursement template you can use.

All sessions will be recorded and available within 24 hours in your Maven account.

However, attending live is strongly encouraged! The course is designed around live demos followed by hands-on practice, and you'll get the most value by building in real time with support available.

Live sessions run 12-6 PM ET on Saturday and Sunday.

This works well for US and European time zones. For other regions, it may require early mornings or late nights, but all sessions are recorded for you to rewatch after the course.
