Frequently asked questions

What is Claude Code?+

Claude Code is an agentic AI coding assistant that runs in your terminal. Unlike IDE chat plugins, Claude Code reads your codebase, writes and edits files, runs tests, manages git, and takes multi-step autonomous actions to complete coding tasks. It's designed for developers who want a genuine AI collaborator, not just autocomplete.

Do I need to be an experienced developer to use Claude Code?+

One of the articles in this pathway is specifically about building a website with Claude Code without prior coding experience. The tool is usable by non-developers for simple projects. That said, more complex projects benefit significantly from development fundamentals — knowing what the code does even if you didn't write it.

How long does the Claude Code Mastery pathway take?+

13 articles, approximately 7 hours. This pathway is intermediate — it assumes you have a basic understanding of what code is and how terminals work, but doesn't require deep software engineering experience.
