This 3-hour hands-on workshop teaches you how to leverage Claude Code's AI features to build applications faster and more efficiently. You'll learn essential AI-assisted development techniques through guided labs and practical exercises.
Prerequisites: Claude paid account.
These instructions will guide you through configuring a GitHub Codespaces environment that you can use to do the labs.
1. If you don't already have a paid Claude account, sign up for one at claude.ai.
You must have a paid claude account to use Claude Code.
While logged in to GitHub, go to https://github.com/settings/codespaces.
Scroll down and find the section on the page labeled Default idle timeout.
Increase the default timeout value to 90 minutes and then select the Save button.
(NOTE: If your codespace does time out at some point in the course, there should be a button to restart it. In that case, you will need to run the minikube start command again.)
Click here ------> 
Then click on the option to create a new codespace.
This will run for several minutes while it gets everything ready.
4. Complete the startup/authentication steps in the file STARTUP.md.
Once the codespace is running, you will need to authenticate Claude Code in the codespace using your Claude account. Follow the steps in STARTUP.md to complete this task.
