Udemy – [BETA] Claude Code Crash Course: Claude Code In a Day

This course is currently in Beta and is actively being developed. New, in-depth videos and hands-on projects are added weekly as we build towards a comprehensive 6+ hour curriculum. By enrolling now, you get early access to become a Claude Code power user and the opportunity to provide feedback that shapes the final version of the course!

Please note: This is an advanced course and is not suitable for beginners. This curriculum is designed for professionals and assumes you have a solid background in software engineering and are proficient in Python, Next JS and generative ai. We will be working extensively in the terminal and using the Cursor IDE for seamless integration, but you can follow along with any editor that supports the Claude Code extension.

This course is for software developers, AI engineers, and data scientists who want to move beyond simple chat interactions and harness the full power of Claude Code to build automated, context-aware, and secure development workflows.

What You Will Learn in Claude Code

Claude Code is more than just a coding assistant; it’s a powerful, extensible platform for creating AI-driven development tools. This course will teach you to master its core architecture, from basic commands to building complex, multi-agent systems.

Architecture and Core Concepts:

• Slash Commands: Go beyond basic prompting and learn to control every aspect of Claude Code’s behavior, context, and configuration directly from your terminal.
• Persistent Memory (CLAUDE .md): Learn to give Claude a long-term memory. We’ll cover how to create and manage user, project, and local memory files to store preferences, coding standards, and architectural context that persists across sessions.
• Hooks: Unlock the ultimate automation tool. You will learn to create shell commands that trigger at specific events in Claude’s lifecycle, enabling you to automate everything from running tests to formatting code and even calling other AI agents.
• Sub-Agents: Design and build a team of specialized AI assistants. You’ll learn how to create and manage sub-agents, each with its own unique context, tools, and system prompt, to handle specific tasks like code reviews, debugging, or security analysis.
