Claude Code Essential: Build, Automate & Work with AI Agents

About this course

Claude Code brings AI-assisted development directly into your terminal, but getting useful results consistently requires more than simply asking it to write code. You need to understand how sessions, context, permissions, skills, hooks, MCP servers, subagents, and plugins fit together into a reliable developer workflow.

This course gives developers a practical, focused introduction to Claude Code and the features that make it useful beyond one-off code generation.

You will start from the foundations: what Claude Code is, how to install it, how to open your first session, how to move between sessions, and how to monitor usage. From there, the course builds toward more capable workflows where Claude Code can work with project context, reusable instructions, automated actions, external tools, specialized subagents, and plugins.

The course is designed for developers who already have basic coding experience but are new to Claude Code or have only used it casually. You do not need to be an expert in a particular framework or programming language. The concepts are presented as developer-tooling skills that you can transfer to your own projects and technology stack.

One of the first challenges when working with an AI coding agent is giving it the right context. Claude Code can only make good decisions when it understands the project, the relevant files, and the constraints you want it to follow. You will learn how to configure persistent project context, add files and images to a session, inspect the current context, and rewind a session when you need to return to an earlier point.

You will also learn how tools and permissions affect what Claude Code can do. This is important because useful automation needs boundaries. The course shows how permissions work so that you can decide what Claude may run or change instead of treating every tool call the same way.
