Claude Code 101: From Prompt to Product

Powerful coding tools are no longer limited to engineers. In this course, you’ll learn how to use Claude Code to build real software without a traditional coding background. You’ll start with essential terminal concepts, then explore how to choose models, use plugins, work with MCP servers, and apply Claude Code to practical development tasks. Along the way, you’ll learn how to guide the tool effectively, avoid common pitfalls, and produce reliable, repeatable results. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to turn ideas into working code using AI‑powered workflows.
