02 / The workshop

About the workshop

Using Claude Code, you’ll define a focused product, build its core user journey and improve it through hands-on testing. Your project might be a service quotation tool, an event matcher or a customer needs assessment. Someone enters information, takes an action and receives a useful result.

Start by exploring a finished example, then build your own version with guided support. No previous coding experience is required, although you should be comfortable using your laptop and learning unfamiliar software.
