A note from Adam

I've watched hundreds of people at our meetups go from "I'm not technical enough" to building something useful in an afternoon. Knowing where to start helps. So does having someone in the room who's done it.

That's what this course is. We work on your real tasks, with your own data, and we're straight with you about where Claude helps and where it doesn't.

Pick something small. Build it. Show someone.
