# AI Coding Bootcamp with Claude Code

Canonical URL: <https://www.creativelive.com/classes/ai-coding-bootcamp-with-claude-code>

## Overview

AI Coding Bootcamp with Claude Code shows you how to plan, build, and deploy real web applications using Claude Code, an AI coding agent that reads, writes, and manages code through natural language. No prior programming experience is necessary.

The course blends expert led instruction with interactive exercises so you're always learning by doing rather than just watching. Concept mapping activities, prompt writing practice, flashcard drills, guided scenarios, and knowledge checks reinforce each skill as you go. Seven hands-on labs and a capstone project mean you'll finish with a portfolio of working applications you built entirely on your own.

## What you'll learn

- Harness Claude Code to plan, build, debug, and deploy web applications through natural language
- Follow the Explore → Plan → Execute → Review workflow to manage multi-step development tasks
- Develop full-stack apps complete with databases, user authentication, and external API integrations
- Incorporate responsive design, accessibility standards, and professional UI patterns
- Ground your work in web security fundamentals including input validation and environment variable management
- Launch finished applications to a live URL using version control and modern hosting platforms
