Folders Navigated

You can get anywhere on your Mac

You've conquered the terminal. You can navigate folders, see what's inside them, and create new ones. Now it's time for the exciting part: actually using Claude Code to build something.

The moment of truth:
"I've been using Claude in my browser for monthsโ€”chatting, asking questions, getting help with writing. But Claude Code feels different. It's going to actually do things on my computer. What if I break something?"
Here's what's different about Claude Code: instead of just giving you answers, it can take action. It reads your files, writes code, creates new files, and runs programs. And yes, it asks your permission before making any changes. You're always in control.
What to expect:
"By the end of this module, you'll have built something realโ€”a simple HTML page that you can open in your browser. Not because HTML is the point, but because that moment of seeing something you made, on your screen, changes everything."
