MODULE 1

The Awakening

What AI actually is — and is not. We dissolve the intimidation so everything after feels possible.

MODULE 2

How the Machines Think

Just enough about how AI works to stop being surprised by it — and why Claude Code is the tool you'll actually use.

MODULE 3

Meet Your Builder

The difference between an AI that talks and one that does, what Claude Code really is — and why building in the chat app is a trap.

Install It (No Fear)

Step by step, we put Claude Code on your computer and run it for the first time. Even if you've never opened a terminal.

MODULE 5

How to Talk to It

Say what you want in plain language — typed or dictated. The one setting that lets it just build, and the spots where everyone stalls.

MODULE 6

Build Something That Helps You

First we kill the startup fantasy, then you pick a tiny tool you'd actually use, build it live with Claude, and fix it when it breaks.

MODULE 7

The Idea Bank

Dozens of small, genuinely useful things real people build — each with its own guided, step-by-step build.

MODULE 8

Skills, Agents & Your New Normal

What 'Skills' are, how to use agents without fear, the simple safety rules, and the new normal you walk away with.

▌ FAQ

Vibe Coding & Claude Code: questions everyone asks before starting

Real answers to what people google about vibe coding, Claude Code, and learning AI from scratch.

What is vibe coding?+

Vibe coding is building software by describing what you want in plain language — no syntax, no memorized commands, just clear intent. An AI agent like Claude Code translates your words into working code, runs it, spots errors and fixes them. This course is a practical vibe coding course: you describe the result, Claude handles the implementation. The phrase was coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025 and has become the dominant way non-programmers build real tools with AI.

What exactly is Claude Code?+

Claude Code is an AI agent by Anthropic that works in your computer's terminal: you describe what you want in plain language, and it creates the real files, runs the project, sees its own errors and fixes them. Unlike a chat window, it doesn't hand you code to copy-paste — it does the work. Module 3 of the course shows exactly what that looks like.

Is Claude Code free?+

Claude Code itself requires a Claude subscription (Pro plan, around $17–20/month — same price as ChatGPT Plus). This course about Claude Code is 100% free: no card required, no upsells, nothing to buy at the end. You can explore the first modules before spending a cent.

Is Claude Code better than ChatGPT?+

They're different species. ChatGPT (like any chat) answers and advises — but hands you the work. Claude Code is an agent: it acts on your computer, builds, tests and fixes until the thing works. For everyday questions, keep your chat. For building real tools — that's what Claude Code is for.

How do I install Claude Code?+

Four steps: install Node from nodejs.org, check it with `node -v`, run `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`, then type `claude` and log in once in your browser. Module 4 of the course walks you through every click — including the typical Windows and Mac errors and their fixes.

Can I use Claude Code without programming skills?+

Yes — that's the whole point of this vibe coding course. You never memorize commands: you describe what you want in your own language (English, Russian, anything), and Claude Code handles the implementation. The skill you actually learn is describing results clearly.

What can you build with Claude Code?+

Real, useful things from day one: a budget tracker fed by receipt photos, a math game for your kid, a client booking page, a report that assembles itself, Telegram notifications from your own tools. The course includes 36+ project ideas, each with its own guided build.

How much does Claude Code cost? (pricing & subscription)+

Claude Code is included in the Claude subscription: the Pro plan (around $17–20/month) is the normal starting point, Max for heavy daily building. Pro has a usage budget that refills every few hours — normal for everyone. There is no separate 'Claude Code price': one subscription covers the chat, the apps and the terminal agent.

How do I start learning AI as a complete beginner?+

Don't start with theory — start by using AI to build one small real thing. That's exactly what this free vibe coding course does: it takes a total beginner and, step by step, gets you installing Claude Code and making a working tool in your own words. No degree, no coding background, no math.

What's the best AI course for beginners?+

Start with a course that makes you build something real on day one — not watch videos. This free Claude Code course does exactly that: from zero to a working AI-powered tool in plain language, no programming required. All the fundamentals (AI agents, MCP, automation) are covered along the way.

Is AI hard to learn — is there an 'AI for dummies'?+

It's far easier than the internet makes it look. You don't learn to code; you learn to tell an AI what you want. This course is the plain-language 'AI for dummies' version: no jargon, every click shown, built so a complete beginner walks away actually building real tools.
