This hands-on workshop is for product managers, founders, marketers and developers who want to turn ideas into working software with Claude Code, an AI assistant that builds programs from plain-language instructions. Across four live sessions, people practise building a web prototype, Python automations, two AI agents and a full-stack chat app. Beginners are welcome, and setup is guided.
What you can do: If you have wanted to build your own tools without waiting on a developer, take a look. The early-bird price is $120 until November 1.
