Building with Claude: The Complete Anthropic Mastery Course
The definitive, always-current course on everything Anthropic. Students go from their first great prompt to production AI agents across ten units — orientation and the Claude model family, core and advanced prompting, Claude in real work, the Claude Developer Platform, tool use and structured outputs, agents and Claude Code, the Model Context Protocol and Agent Skills, and AI safety, alignment, and interpretability. Four learner tracks (curious learner, maker, developer, enterprise lead) route through one shared library. Every claim is sourced to primary Anthropic material; the capstone ships, measures, and presents a real Claude-powered project. Maintained current with every Claude model and product release.
