This bootcamp teaches you how to plan, build, and deploy real web applications using Claude Code, an AI coding agent that reads, writes, and manages code through natural language. No prior programming experience is necessary.

The course blends expert-led video segments with interactive exercises so you learn by doing rather than just watching. Between videos, concept mapping activities, prompt writing practice, flashcard drills, guided scenarios, and knowledge checks, you'll reinforce each skill before you move on. Ten hands-on labs, ending with a live app launch, ensure you finish with a portfolio of working applications you built yourself.

Time-tested curriculum

Refined over many years for an optimal learning experience

This training will definitely help my career. I was able to show my supervisor and co-workers what the software programs have to offer and what I'm capable of when the time comes for creating that construction design team in the future. I was able to provide documentation to my employer that the money spent was well worth it. The training I received at VDCI will become an asset moving forward.
