David vs. Goliath. Batman vs. Superman. A goose vs. a gladiator.
Who wins? Let's build an app to find out.
In this course, you'll use Claude Code to create Battleground: an AI-powered app that pits your opponents against each other in imaginary fights and generates original art for your contenders. Collect your favorites in a BattleDex, give the whole thing a makeover with Claude Design, and put it online for your friends to try.
No coding experience? You're more than welcome here. This course is meant for those of us who want to explore what we can build with AI but without the technical aspects.
While this course is all about fun, you're also going to discover some new skills with this course (we love to slide in valuable skills while you think you're just having fun...we're kinda sneaky like that). As you build, you'll learn how to give Claude useful instructions, understand its limits, and roll back changes when an experiment goes sideways. There's plenty of room to try things and make the app your own.
And the fun doesn't stop at building apps. You'll also learn to use Claude Code in your daily life by putting it to work on receipts, spreadsheets, and meeting prep. Because while making something fun is exciting, getting through your boring tasks faster feels pretty good too.
