Summary ⤵️ The end-to-end, definitive course on Claude Code for beginners! I'll take you through a full four-hour masterclass where I start by teaching you how to set up and install Claude Code, how to configure your IDE or integrated development environment, how to utilize your CLAUDE.md file as your project brain, how to build your first project in Claude Code in under 15 minutes, advanced Claude Code functionality including hooks, slash commands, and more.
I also teach you how to spin up multiple Claude Code instances and have them work on your behalf; how to parallelize work using sub-agents; how to use Git work trees to accomplish many hours of work in just a few minutes; how to conserve tokens and use context management to crush your coding and software projects; how to deploy things to the cloud using Modal and related services, and in general... how to be awesome at Claude Code!
Why watch? If this is your first view—hi, I’m Nick! TLDR: I spent six years building automated businesses with Make.com (most notably 1SecondCopy, a content company that hit 7 figures). Today a lot of people talk about automation, but I’ve noticed that very few have practical, real world success making money with it. So this channel is me chiming in and showing you what *real* systems that make *real* revenue look like.
Hopefully I can help you improve your business, and in doing so, the rest of your life 🙏
