Claude Code: Essentials

Claude Code: Essentials

Learn agentic development from zero and ship real .NET features with Claude Code

Course Summary

Claude Code is the coding agent developers use most, and this course teaches it from the ground up. You start with the install and the core ideas of agentic development. You finish with Claude Code planning, writing and testing real .NET features while you make the decisions.

Anthropic’s own research found that experienced Claude Code users succeed about twice as often as newcomers, with the same tool. This course teaches you what they know.

What Will You Learn?

• Use Claude Code every day as your coding partner
• Take a feature from idea to pull request with the agent
• Teach the agent your project’s rules so it follows them
• Keep long sessions focused and your usage limits under control
• Decide what the agent may do on its own and what needs your OK
• Make the agent prove every change with builds and tests
• Extend Claude Code with skills, plugins, MCP servers and subagents

Course Description

The course is made for .NET developers. You learn on Repair Desk, a real ASP.NET Core solution with real problems to fix, and every Claude Code output in the lessons is a recorded run, so you see exactly what the agent does.

Interactive tools, quizzes, reference cards and three bonus guides help it stick, and a final project shows you can do it on your own.

You need no Claude Code experience. This is the first of two parts, and Claude Code: Above and Beyond takes you further.
