Frequently Asked Questions

The questions people actually ask before starting.

Do I need prior experience with AI coding tools?

No. This course starts from scratch: what Claude Code is, how it works, and how to install it. If you have used GitHub Copilot or Cursor, you will move faster through the basics but still pick up Claude Code-specific patterns.

Is this course really free?

Yes. All 12 lessons, no signup, no catch. I built it to answer the question I kept getting on LinkedIn. If you want depth beyond the fundamentals, Claude Code in Action is the follow-up.

What do I need to follow along?

A Claude account (Pro, Max, or Enterprise) or an Anthropic API key. Node.js installed for the terminal version. A real project to practise on: the exercises are designed around your own codebase, not hypothetical examples.

How long does the course take?

About 45 minutes to read the 12 lessons. Add 30-40 minutes if you run the hands-on exercises against your own project, which I recommend.

What's the difference between this and 'Claude Code in Action'?

Claude Code 101 teaches the fundamentals: what Claude Code is, how to use it, and the core workflow. Claude Code in Action goes deeper into advanced topics like coding-assistant architecture, custom commands, the Claude Code SDK, and GitHub integration workflows.

Is this affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Claude Code 101 is independent. This course is not an Anthropic product and has not been reviewed or endorsed by them.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access. Bookmark the lessons and come back whenever you need a refresher. Future updates to the existing lessons are included.

Is my data safe?

Yes. We don't store your personal data — course progress is managed in your browser via localStorage, and we don't track you with third-party analytics. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Can I share this with my team?

Absolutely. The course is free for individuals and teams. If you want to use it as part of internal training, just point your team at the landing page.
