Hands-on exercises. Through exercises and hands-on projects, you will create real-world applications using only Claude Code.
Course schedule
1 Introduction to Claude Code
- What is a development agent?
- Claude Code's Position in the Ecosystem of AI Tools for Developers.
- Architecture and Operation: The Claude Model, Context, and Available Tools.
- Use cases: understanding existing code, refactoring, debugging, code generation, documentation, testing.
- Limitations, awareness of code and data confidentiality, cost calculations.
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Explore Claude Code's capabilities on an existing project: codebase analysis, bug identification, and suggestions for improvement.
2 Installation and Configuration
- System Requirements and Authentication.
- Installation via npm and initial configuration.
- Management of API keys and pricing plans.
- Configuring the settings file and environment variables.
- Customization using CLAUDE.md files (project and user).
- Managing permissions and approval workflows.
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Install Claude Code, set up its environment, and create a CLAUDE.md file tailored to a development project.
3 Commands and Interaction Methods
- The REPL interactive mode and its slash commands.
- One-shot mode for one-time tasks.
- Pipe mode for integration with other Unix tools.
- Browsing the history and managing conversations.
- Essential commands: /init, /compact, /clear, /memory, /model.
- Reading and manipulating files, executing commands
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Perform a series of development tasks using various interaction modes: bug fixes, feature additions, and test generation.
4 The Art of Prompting for Development
- Principles for Writing Effective Code Prompts.
- Provide the necessary context: project structure, agreements, and constraints.
- Break down complex tasks into steps.
- Use images and screenshots to provide visual context.
- Iterate and refine the results.
- Reusable prompt templates.
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Write and test different prompts for the same development task. Compare the results and identify best practices.
5 Advanced Development Workflows
- Project Management with Claude Code: From Concept to Implementation.
- Large-scale refactoring of legacy code.
- Creation and maintenance of technical documentation.
- Creating and running automated tests.
- Code reviews and pull request analysis.
- Assisted debugging and troubleshooting complex issues.
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Take a legacy project and perform a complete refactoring using Claude Code: improve the structure, add tests, and generate documentation.
6 Automation and CI/CD Integration
- Using Claude Code in headless, non-interactive mode.
- Integration with GitHub Actions.
- Automation of code reviews.
- Creating custom pre-commit hooks.
- Secret Management and Security in a CI Environment.
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Set up a GitHub Actions workflow using Claude Code to automate code reviews and documentation generation for each pull request.
7 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Architecture
- Understanding the MCP protocol and its role.
- Available MCP servers: file systems, databases, third-party APIs.
- Configuring MCP Servers in Claude Code.
- Expand Claude Code's capabilities with custom tools.
- Use cases: integration with Postgres, Puppeteer, and internal tools.
Activités pédagogiques
Hands-on work
Configure an MCP server to connect Claude Code to a database and perform queries using natural language.
8 Best Practices and Optimization
- Cost Management: Monitoring Usage, Optimizing Tokens.
- Determine the most cost-effective prompt architecture for a given use case.
- Security: permissions, sensitive data, action auditing.
- Work Organization: When to Use Claude Code vs. Manual Coding.
- Teamwork: sharing configurations, common guidelines.
- Debugging by Claude Code: logs, verbose mode, troubleshooting.
- Monitoring and Development of the Tool.
- Audit an existing project: analyze energy consumption, identify potential optimizations, and establish team guidelines for using Claude Code.
