Anthropic dropped a free course teaching you Claude Code from scratch. Most people have no idea it exists.

It walks you through claude.md files, setting up skills, working with agents, and configuring MCP servers. These are the features separating people who tinker with Claude from people who get real work done with it.

I've been using Claude Code daily for months now. The claude.md file alone changed how I work. It's where you tell Claude your project context, your preferences, your rules. Once you set it up, every conversation starts with Claude already understanding what you're building.

Skills let you create reusable workflows. MCP connects Claude to your actual tools and data. Agents let you chain tasks together. This isn't surface-level stuff.

The course is on anthropic.skilljar.com. It's free, it's from the Claude team, and it'll save you weeks of trial and error figuring this out on your own.

If you've been wanting to go deeper with Claude Code, this is where to start.
