Claude Code – The Practical Guide to Agentic Engineering

About This Course

Why This Course Exists

The way software is built has fundamentally changed. Claude Code — Anthropic's agentic AI coding assistant — lives in your terminal and understands your entire codebase. It does not just autocomplete lines of code. It reads files, runs commands, creates branches, writes tests, and ships features — all through natural language.

But most developers barely scratch the surface. They use Claude Code like a fancy search engine instead of the autonomous engineering partner it was designed to be.

This course changes that. You will go from zero to mastery, learning every feature of Claude Code through hands-on, practical projects that mirror real-world development workflows.

What You Will Build

Throughout this course, you will build a complete full-stack task management application from scratch — entirely with Claude Code. Along the way, you will:

  • Scaffold the project using natural language commands
  • Configure CLAUDE.md for optimal AI-assisted development
  • Connect MCP servers for database access and GitHub integration
  • Automate repetitive tasks with hooks and custom skills
  • Delegate work to subagents running in parallel
  • Deploy to production with CI/CD pipelines powered by Claude Code

What You Will Learn

  • Foundation: Install, configure, and master Claude Code's CLI interface
  • Context Engineering: Write CLAUDE.md files that make Claude 10x more effective
  • MCP Servers: Connect Claude to databases, APIs, and external tools
  • Hooks and Skills: Build deterministic automations and reusable AI workflows
  • Agentic Patterns: Use subagents, Plan Mode, and Ralph Wiggum loops for autonomous development
  • Git Mastery: Automate branches, commits, PRs, and code reviews
  • Production Workflows: Integrate Claude Code into CI/CD, headless mode, and enterprise environments
  • Real Projects: Apply everything in a hands-on full-stack build

Who This Course Is For

  • Developers who want to build software dramatically faster with AI
  • Engineering leads evaluating Claude Code for their teams
  • AI enthusiasts who want to understand agentic engineering
  • Freelancers looking to multiply their output and take on bigger projects

Prerequisites

  • Basic programming experience in any language (JavaScript, Python, or similar)
  • Familiarity with the command line (terminal basics)
  • A computer with macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2)
  • An Anthropic API key or Claude Pro/Team subscription
