Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding experience?
No. Claude Code accepts plain English instructions and writes the code for you. This course is designed for non-developers who want to build real systems.
What do I need to get started?
A Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan and a terminal (Mac Terminal, Windows PowerShell or a Linux terminal). No Claude plan yet? Start with lesson 8. It runs Claude Code on free models through OpenRouter. New to all of this? Read Claude Code for non-technical people first.
How is this different from the Claude Systems Masterclass?
The Claude Systems Masterclass teaches Claude Projects (browser-based AI assistants). This course teaches Claude Code (terminal-based AI coding agent). Claude Code can build software, automate tasks, and create tools that run independently.
Is this course free?
Yes. All 8 lessons are free on YouTube, as one full-course video and as separate lesson videos. Every lesson also has a written version on Substack.
Do I have to watch the lessons in order?
It helps. Each lesson fixes the problem the last one left behind: lesson 2 gives Claude Code a memory, lesson 3 connects it to the web, and by lesson 7 a team of agents is packaged as a plugin. Lesson 8 stands alone and is the place to start if you have no Claude plan.
Can I get support?
Join my community on Substack where I answer questions and share additional tips. Premium members get priority support.
What comes after this course?
If you want to build your own system with me live, the Claude Code Builder cohort on Maven is the next step.
