First Time Setup
Turn a blank computer into a machine that can build, push and deploy.
This is the very first course: it sets up your computer and your cloud so you can begin to build with Claude. It runs over two semesters of twelve weekly classes each -- one class every Saturday, a single two-to-three hour session -- and takes you from a plain Windows machine to a real development machine, and then to a live website on your own domain. Each Saturday you watch that week's video together, a moderator answers your questions as you go, and you set each piece up on your own machine with Claude at your side.
Two semesters, 24 classes in all, one class a week -- a single two-to-three hour Saturday session. The syllabus is open to everyone; each class's lesson opens for subscribers. It is included in the one $13.99/month subscription.
Semester 1Your Development Machine
You start with a plain Windows computer and end with a real development machine -- a Linux system inside Windows, your tools installed, Claude Code ready, your code on GitHub, and Microsoft Teams set up for the live classes.

You set up the cloud so your work can go live: an AWS account, safe roles and permissions, a real server with a fixed address, a domain name pointed at it, HTTPS, and finally a real app built, pushed and deployed.
