Crack the Claude Code
Become a modern AI-assisted developer
You installed Claude Code. Maybe you opened it a few times, typed a prompt, and went back to coding the old way.
Claude Code does not fail loudly. It just sits there being fine, running on defaults you never chose, so you never hit the moment it would have saved you an hour, and it never becomes the way you work.
This course builds a daily Claude Code workflow, one setting and habit at a time.
You install Claude Code and give it project context with CLAUDE.md files and settings, learn how permission modes, models, and effort levels change what it does, then write focused prompts and use plan mode before it touches your code.
From there you resume, rewind, and background sessions, keep secrets like .env files out of reach, and manage tokens and context so your usage stays predictable. Every lesson is recorded against the current Claude Code release.
You leave with a Claude Code setup you understand and a workflow you actually use every day, not just a tool you installed.

Foundational excellence
Step-by-step
This course breaks down Claude Code into easy-to-understand lessons that teach you exactly what you need to know, when you need to know it.
- Set up Claude Code the right way
- Install, authenticate, and configure CLAUDE.md files, .claude directories, and settings so Claude Code understands your project from the first prompt.
- Control what Claude Code can do
- Pick the right permission mode, set a default editing mode, and keep sensitive files like .env out of reach with deny rules.
- Choose the right model and effort
- Switch models, tune effort levels, and balance quality, speed, and token cost for each task you hand off.
- Write prompts that get results
- Craft focused prompts, research and plan with plan mode before any code changes, and speed up input with voice prompting.
- Stay in control of every session
- Resume, rewind, and fork sessions, background long-running tasks, and run shell commands without leaving Claude Code.
- Manage tokens, context, and cost
- Understand context windows, track usage with /context and /usage, clear context at the right time, and pick the subscription plan that fits how you work.
