Introduction on Claude Code

In this course you will discover everything you need to turn an idea into a working application by collaborating with AI.

You will get hands-on with the tools and, more importantly, the mind-set of thinking like a builder:

• Prompt engineering and context engineering basics
• How to create productive agents and automate repetitive work
• A step-by-step workflow that starts with choosing the right AI coding tool

Why we start with Claude Code

Our journey begins with Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line interface for large-context models. Claude Code is both efficient and highly customizable, making it ideal for an agentic workflow.

What you will master inside Claude Code

• Slash commands that let you drop full prompt templates or trigger entire workflows with a single line
• Hooks that control how Claude Code behaves so it adapts to your style and project needs
• Parallelization so multiple model instances can tackle different tasks at once
• Seamless integration of CLI tools directly inside Claude so your whole tool-chain feels like one agent

The tech stack you will build with

Layer	Tool	Why we use it
Front-end	Next.js / React	Modern, SEO-friendly, component-driven
Styling	Tailwind CSS	Utility classes for rapid UI iteration
Back-end & Auth	Supabase	Postgres, storage, and Auth in one open-source service
Hosting & Deploy	Vercel	Instant CI/CD, edge caching, zero-config deploys
UI Builder	Aura	Prompt-based component creation with visual Design Mode and full-access Code Mode

What Aura brings to the table

With Aura you will design components by simply prompting. You can tweak every detail visually in Design Mode (no credits needed) and switch to Code Mode whenever you want absolute control.

What you will achieve

We start with fundamentals, then dig into advanced features:

• Craft reusable slash commands and hooks
• Launch parallel tasks that speed up development
• Scaffold a full-stack app, style it, add authentication, and deploy it live
• Design beautiful UI components in Aura without writing boilerplate code

By the end of the course you will understand each step involved in building and shipping your own product. If you have ever had an idea for an app but were unsure where to begin, this is your starting point.

Let’s dive in. Our first stop is Claude Code, your AI coding agent.
