Learning Context
Students master the full Claude API surface – the Messages API in depth, system prompts and conversation management, tool use for connecting Claude to external functions, streaming for responsive UX, and production error handling and cost management patterns.
How this course works: each lesson explains the skill in plain language, shows a worked example, and ends with a student task you complete in Claude and a short quiz. The final assessment checks that you can apply the skill, not just remember it, and your saved prompts and results become reviewable training evidence.
