Claude Code 101

One hour, 12 lessons, one quiz. The fastest official route into Claude Code.

Its follow-up is a separate course

Academy lists Claude Code in Action (9 lessons, 1 quiz, 1 hour) under “Learn the products” as the practical sequel. Two hours total for both, which is a small investment against a tool you may end up using every day.

What the course will not cover

Course material ages faster than Claude Code ships. Things this reference documents that a one-hour introduction is unlikely to reach:

• Hooks — the difference between an instruction and a guarantee
• Permissions — what it may do without asking
• Agent teams and subagents
• Routines — the three different ways to run it on a schedule

Take the course for the shape of the tool; come back here for the parts that decide whether a rollout succeeds.
