Claude Academy: course index
Every Claude Academy course, grouped by learning track: Claude basics, products, AI fluency and the API.
A walkthrough of every free course on Claude Academy, grouped the same way as the course catalog. Each page follows the course module by module, with code samples, tables and the points worth remembering. They’re my own summaries, so check details against the lessons and the current docs.
Where to start
- New to Claude: start with Claude 101, then Claude Code 101 if you write code.
- Building with the API: read Claude Platform 101 first, then the four-part Building with the Claude API series.
- Using Claude Code daily: my own Getting started with Claude Code guide pairs with Claude Code in action.
- Each track is a series, so the links at the top and bottom of every page step through the track in catalog order.
