Most AI coding courses help you tinker. This one helps you ship.You'll build 2 real projects of your choice using the best AI coding tools on the market today: Claude Code from Anthropic and Codex from OpenAI.In the process, you'll become an AI-native builder: mastering workflows for planning, development, and testing with AI coding agents. I created this course to help you go beyond tutorials and actually ship. It's what I can't offer on YouTube: personalized support, faster progression, and accountability to ship alongside other builders.The workflows and tips you'll learn are based on hard-won experience using AI to ship production-ready software, from me and some of the best AI-native engineers in the world.And you won't build alone, with 12+ hours of office hours and Q+A across the course, a Slack community for async help, and debugging support when you hit walls.Ready to become an AI-native builder? Let's go!

Become an AI-Native Builder.  Ship real projects. Master Claude Code and Codex.

Build production apps with a repeatable AI coding workflow

Customize Claude and Codex with Plugins, Skills, and MCPs

Automate and scale with advanced agentic workflows

Navigate the evolving AI coding landscape with confidence

While sample project ideas and prompts will be provided, this course is most helpful if you have ideas for things you want to build.

Ideas for projects to build

We'll use tools like the terminal and GitHub in the course. If you're not familiar with them, no problem, just come ready to learn fast.

Willingness to learn fast

Software Engineers who want to go from tab-complete to AI-led in their planning, building, testing and review workflows.

Founders and Business Owners who want to be hands on in product development and avoid outsourcing control.

Product Managers who want to expand their impact by prototyping, testing, and shipping faster without cross-functional bottlenecks.

Claude Code is the most important AI tool to learn in 2026. This course helps you master the fundamentals and start building productively. You'll go from zero to a working project in a single weekend. You'll learn how to plan projects so Claude builds what you want, build features with a repeatable system, and customize Claude Code to fit your tools and workflows.What you'll walk away with:<ul><li>A working app, dashboard, landing page, or workflow you built during the course.</li><li>A recorded demo to share with your team, network, or portfolio.</li><li>Repeatable systems for research, planning, building and testing you can apply to every future project.</li><li>Exposure to advanced Claude Code features and workflows like Skills, MCPs and Plugins, async usage, and multi-agent development.</li></ul>I created this course to offer what I can't on Youtube: personalized support, faster progression, and accountability to actually build alongside a community of peers.Every topic is taught through live demos, followed by a hands-on activity to immediately put into practice what you learned. Plus help whenever you need it during in-class build time, live Q+A and async via Slack.

Learn Claude Code. Build your first project. All in just 2 days.

Set up and use Claude Code on Desktop, Terminal, IDE, Web and Mobile

Plan and spec projects so Claude builds what you actually want

Build and iterate on features with a repeatable system (RPIT)

Customize Claude Code to fit your personal workflows

Walk away with a real project (and a path to continue learning)

You'll need this to run Claude Code and build your projects

Laptop or desktop computer

Come with an idea for a web app, mobile app, workflow, dashboard, or landing page (examples / suggestions also provided)

Ideas for projects to build during the course

You'll need a Claude Pro ($20/mo) or Claude Max ($100-200/mo) account to access Claude Code

Learn the essential technical concepts you need to build real projects with AI

The technical foundations are what separate people who build real things with AI from people who stay stuck at demos.AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex gave everyone the power to build. But many people are stuck on the sidelines. They're intimidated by the technical jargon and unfamiliar tools (the terminal?!). Or they've built a prototype that got stuck when they needed to add the 5th feature or share with users. The fix isn't writing code by hand or better prompting. It's understanding the handful of technical concepts behind every real app, how the pieces fit together, and which tools to build with and why.This 1 day workshop gives you those foundations. You'll leave with:✅ An architecture map for your next project ✅ An agent-ready spec to give to Claude / Codex ✅ Beginner friendly tech stack, Skills &amp; MCP library, and security + production checklistsWhat makes this workshop different:<ul><li>It's AI-first. You'll learn every concept through the lens of building with coding agents.</li><li>It's hands-on and personalized. You'll create a spec for a real project you want to build.</li><li>It's for non-technical/ semi-technical builders so you'll learn practical knowledge, not academic theory.</li></ul>
