A real run, on screen
See the build and the check.
A plain-language request becomes a calorie-tracking app, then one meal goes from photo to the finished dashboard. This is my own Claude Code setup, recorded as it ran.
Captions describe each step on screen. The build is real and so is the check that follows it.
Recorded as it ran. Captions explain each step.
What you learn to direct
The parts a quick demo skips.
What it may touch
The permission modes, so you decide in advance what Claude Code is allowed to do on your computer and change that on purpose.
What a session costs
Read what a job is costing you in tokens, pick the right model for it, and keep a long session from drifting.
A memory of your project
A written memory of your project so it stops starting from scratch every time you open it.
Your tools, connected
Connect Claude Code to the tools you already use through MCP, and set work running while you are away from the desk.
More than one worker
Subagents and agent teams for when one conversation is not enough, with approval gates you control.
Made for a real beginner
You can start before you know the terminal.
The first lessons walk through installation and your first session. Later lessons explain permissions, cost, project memory and how to check the result.
01 Decide what Claude may change.
02 Read the work it reports against what actually happened.
03 Keep the instructions and lessons your project needs.
Your instructor
I build with the tools I teach.
I'm Arun Nagarathanam. I use Claude Code in my own work, then teach the decisions that make a result useful: the instructions, the checks and the moment to step in.
See how I workBefore you decide
The practical questions.
Do I need to know how to code?
The course starts before installation and assumes no terminal experience. You learn to describe a job, inspect the changes and work through problems in the project.
What do I need besides the course?
A Mac or Windows computer, internet access and your own Claude Code access. Anthropic's plans or API use are separate from the Udemy course purchase. Check the current access options before enrolling.
How much is the Udemy course?
Udemy sets the current price and purchase options for your location. Use the course link on this page to see the live offer before deciding.
Can I see the work before buying?
Watch the recorded build above, inspect the current syllabus and preview lessons on Udemy, or read the open student resource library.
