Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior experience with AI coding tools?

No. This course starts from scratch — what Claude Code is, how it works, and how to install it. If you've used other AI assistants like GitHub Copilot or Cursor, you'll move faster through the basics but still pick up Claude Code-specific patterns.

Is this course free?

Yes, the entire course is free. All 12 lessons are accessible immediately after signing up.

What do I need to follow along?

A Claude account (Pro, Max, or Enterprise) or an Anthropic API key. Node.js installed on your machine for the terminal version. A real project to practice on — the exercises are designed around your own codebase, not hypothetical examples.

How long does the course take?

About 45-60 minutes to watch all the videos. The hands-on exercises add another 30-40 minutes if you complete them with your own project.

What's the difference between this and 'Claude Code in Action'?

Claude Code 101 teaches you the fundamentals — what Claude Code is, how to use it, and the core workflow. Claude Code in Action goes deeper into advanced topics like coding assistant architecture, custom commands, the Claude Code SDK, and GitHub integration workflows.
