TOOLS YOU WORK IN
Claude Code CLIGit + GitHubFirebase HostingGoogle Cloud RunInside every lesson
Pages you work, not slides you skim.
Each lesson is a short deck of activity-book pages. You predict before you are told, do the task in your own store, and keep the notes. Built to be done, not skimmed.
Predict, then reveal
Commit a guess before the lesson gives you the answer, so it actually sticks.
Hands-on labs
Tick off real tasks in your own store, one at a time, with your progress saved.
Write-in workbook
Jot your answers straight into the page. They save on your device, yours to keep.
No walls of text
Flip-cards, compare panels and deep-dives instead of dense paragraphs to wade through.

Before you ask
Questions, answered.
An AI engineer in your terminal. It reads your project, plans, writes code, runs commands with your permission, fixes what breaks and works with git. You describe outcomes and review its work; it does the building. The course takes you from installing it to shipping real projects with it.
Yes. Module one starts at absolute zero: what a terminal is, the four commands you need, and how to use Claude Code itself to learn the rest. Non-developers finish this course; the skill being taught is direction and judgement, not typing code.
Two guided deployments: a landing page shipped to Firebase Hosting and an API shipped to Google Cloud Run, both built with Claude Code from a brief. The capstone is a micro-tool of your own choosing, shipped to a live URL and submitted for review.
CLAUDE.md project instructions, plan mode and permission modes, review habits for AI-written diffs, skills, hooks and slash commands, MCP servers for connecting real services, git workflows (branches, commits, pull requests), and the cost and judgement module: model choice, usage limits, and when Claude Code is the wrong tool.
$199 one-off, AUD, including all nine modules, both deployment projects and every future update. You need a computer you can install software on and a Claude account; the deployment modules use free tiers of Firebase and Google Cloud.
