Getting started with Claude Code
A 45-minute intro. New tools can feel intimidating. This one is about taking that edge off and showing you where to begin.
The people who get the most out of it aren't the most technical. They're the ones who keep using it until it feels like second nature.
And where it leads is the fun part: a small team of AI helpers working for you, not just one.
