General domain of usage  
AI-assisted software development

Before we start building anything, let's take a quick look around Claude Code so nothing feels unfamiliar when we dive in.

Where do your project sessions appear in Claude Code?

Which tab should you be in when building your project?

Build and launch a real app in just one weekend using modern AI tools and a simple, practical workflow, using Claude Code to plan, generate, and refine your code, managing your project with GitHub, and deploying your finished app online with Vercel. You’ll start with an idea and quickly turn it into a clear project plan, then move step by step into building a working application, focusing on core features, simple architecture, and fast iteration instead of unnecessary complexity, while learning how to work effectively with AI by writing better prompts, fixing errors, and improving features, ending with a live app, a clean GitHub project, and a repeatable system for turning future ideas into real products faster.

Understand the basics of AI-assisted development, set up your environment, and get familiar with Claude Code before starting your first app.

Turn your idea into a clear, simple plan and define the smallest version of your app that delivers real value.

Go from zero to a running app by generating code with AI, setting up the project, and understanding what was created.

Improve your app by adding features, refining the design, and learning how to fix issues effectively.

Publish your project, make it accessible online, and ensure everything works using GitHub and Vercel.
