About this Course
Duration: 3 days
Master agentic AI‑assisted development from first prompt to production deployment
Claude Code is not just a code suggestion tool—it’s a full agentic development environment that can read your codebase, write and edit files, run tests, commit to Git, and iterate until the task is complete.
This immersive 3‑day hands‑on course teaches developers how to use Claude Code the same way Anthropic engineers do: spec‑driven, context‑aware, and production‑ready.
Participants leave with a working system built on their own project, including custom skills, automation hooks, multi‑agent workflows, and CI/CD integration.
