The Problem Every Developer Has
You installed Claude Code. You typed a prompt. You got⦠something. Maybe it worked. Maybe it was garbage. You had no idea why.
That is not a tool problem. It is a workflow problem.
Most developers use AI coding tools like a slot machine β pull the lever, hope for the best. I built this course to give you the system that makes every pull a winner.
What Makes This Different
This is not a βwatch me type promptsβ tutorial. It is a production workflow distilled into 59 minutes:
- π― One mindset β Treat Claude Code like a sharp junior engineer you direct and review
- π One loop β Plan β Implement β Test β Review β Commit
- ποΈ One project β You build a real app module by module, not toy examples
After 8 published technical books, 1,300+ articles, and months of shipping production code with Claude Code daily β this is the workflow I wish someone had given me on day one.
The Full Curriculum
π Section 1: Introduction
3 min β Meet your instructor and understand why the βsharp junior engineerβ mindset changes everything.
π§ Section 2: Foundations β Setup, Prompting and Brain Files
Setup and AI-First Mindset (9 min)
Install and configure Claude Code on macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2). Learn to pick the right model for the job:
| Model | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Sonnet | Daily implementation work |
| Opus | Architecture and design decisions |
| Haiku | Bulk operations, file processing |
Then internalize the loop: Plan β Implement β Test β Review β Commit.
Prompting Like a Tech Lead (7 min)
A great prompt is a spec. Learn the GCOE framework:
G β Goal: What you want (one sentence)
C β Constraints: What it must NOT do
O β Output format: Exactly how it should look
E β Examples: One golden exampleEvery constraint you add deletes one wrong guess Claude could make. We build a command-line task manager from a single well-structured prompt β turning plausible-but-fragile output into code you can actually merge.
CLAUDE.md Brain Files (7 min)
Stop re-explaining your stack every single prompt.
Author a CLAUDE.md β a behavior file, not documentation β with five sections that earn their place:
- Stack β What you are building with
- Conventions β How you name things, format code
- Commands β How to run, test, deploy
- Do-not β Hard rules (never touch X, always use Y)
- Glossary β Domain terms Claude gets wrong
Have Claude draft it from your real repo. Trim it with the βtrim testβ β if removing a line does not change Claudeβs output, delete it. Prove in a fresh chat that Claude silently obeys your rules without being asked.
β‘ Section 3: Create Code That Works
Best-of-N Selection (9 min)
The first answer is rarely the best. Stop shipping it.
The technique:
- Generate 2β3 independent candidates (new conversations)
- Score them on a rubric: correctness is the gate, simplicity and fit break ties
- Ship the winner with evidence β not a gut feeling
We build a Notes API two ways and let the rubric, not our mood, pick the winner. You will never blindly accept the first output again.
Testing and Debugging (8 min)
Untested AI code is a guess.
Generate a real pytest suite that runs in-process against a temp database, covering:
- β Happy paths
- β Error paths (the ones Claude skips)
- π² Boundaries (empty inputs, huge payloads, Unicode)
Then learn the βstrangerβs PRβ self-review prompt that flips Claude from cheerleader to critic: plant a bug, and watch it name the file, line, and fix in a bug_report.md.
Git Workflows (6 min)
Never let Claude push to main.
The safe AI git flow:
git checkout -b feature/xβ branch first, always- Split work into atomic Conventional Commits
- Generate a PR description from the actual diff β never from your prompt
- You review. You merge. Claude proposes, you decide.
πΌοΈ Section 4: Multimodal (7 min)
Claude reads images, not just text. Feed it:
- A screenshot of a broken UI β get the CSS fix
- A design mockup β get the implementation
- An architecture diagram β get the infrastructure code
Learn when a picture is worth a thousand tokens β and how to pair an image with a precise prompt for pixel-perfect results.

β Engineers who want a repeatable system, not prompt tricks
What is Coming Next
The free course covers the complete foundation. The advanced modules are already in production:
| Module | Topic |
|---|---|
| Refactor and Docs | Safe restructuring with test guardrails |
| Skills and Workflows | Package multi-step prompts into reusable slash commands |
| MCP and GitHub | Connect Claude to external tools via Model Context Protocol |
| Hooks | Wire shell commands to lifecycle events for automated guardrails |
| Production Readiness | The checklist before AI-assisted code ships |
These form the paid follow-on track for teams that want the full pipeline.
