The Claude course: 77 practical lessons, from setup to your own products

Result. Claude Desktop installed and your first hands-on automation: Claude schedules a real calendar event and checks the result itself. After that you write prompts Claude gets right with fewer edits. You will also learn when to reach for Opus, Sonnet or Haiku (these are versions of Claude).

Who it fits. A fit if you have never opened Claude, or only used the browser chat.

Result. An interactive calculator (a margin, a client quote, calories, anything) and a page built right in the chat. An artifact is a mini-app or page Claude builds from your description. Persistent Projects keep the context of your work, so Claude stops being a stranger every morning.

Who it fits. A fit if you are tired of re-explaining the same context and want a usable thing, not another wall of text.

Result. Claude triages Gmail, schedules calendar events, drafts documents in Drive, and turns Zoom meetings into action items. Cowork is the mode where Claude works with your services through connectors (links to Gmail, Calendar, Drive). On a cloud schedule, your morning brief arrives on its own, even with the laptop closed.

Who it fits. A fit if email, client messages and meetings eat hours of your day.

Result. An assistant that pulls together a summary of your projects every morning, plus a ready add-on for one repetitive job (format a post, check a contract against a checklist): it runs the same way, without you. Skills and plugins are add-ons that teach Claude to do a specific job.

Who it fits. A fit if you repeat the same operations week after week and want a configured helper to take them over.

Result. Claude renames and sorts a hundred files, pulls data from a folder into one table, or cleans up texts by your rules. You set the task and the limits, it runs on your computer. No coding in the usual sense.

Who it fits. A fit if you want file-and-folder routine automated without being a developer.

Result. A reel with a strong hook, an ad clip with a voiceover, and an AI character with a consistent face: the full path from idea to an edited video. The tools (ElevenLabs, Higgsfield, CapCut) are taught from scratch inside the lessons.

Who it fits. A fit if you make content for social media, marketplaces or ads, your own or clients'.

Result. A sales deck and a landing page built from a reference, a properly designed product from idea to a locked design, and a launched service with AI inside, running around the clock.

Who it fits. A fit if you build sites and services for yourself or for clients and do not want to wait on contractors.
