This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. However, every lecture recording involves me reading the scripts, and I am fully involved in scripting and production. Be careful buying courses with instructors that don’t appear in person. AI courses are becoming quite common on learning platforms.
This fast-track course is a condensed review and readiness assessment for the Anthropic Claude Certified Developer — Foundations (CCDV-F) exam. It covers all exam domains in a focused format, then includes a full Exam Simulation practice test built to the same difficulty and domain weighting as the real exam. Use it to review efficiently and immediately assess whether you’re ready to sit, or where you need to go deeper.
D1: Agents and Workflows (14% of the exam), covering workflow vs. agent: decision criteria and tradeoffs, manager/supervisor hierarchies and the role of subagents, claude agent sdk: query(), the agent loop, and input modes, custom agent loops and harnesses, managed agent deployment: self-hosted vs. anthropic-hosted, hooks for deterministic actions, agent design patterns: tool-use loops, subagents, memory, context-window management, agentic frameworks: langgraph vs. strands vs. pydanticai (identities and tradeoffs). You will understand how each of these areas is tested on the exam and how they connect to real-world practice.
