Plan for 3-5 hours per day. The bootcamp is flexible — you can adjust the pace to fit your schedule. Some days are lighter (setup), while feature-heavy days may take longer.

Not at all! This bootcamp is specifically designed for developers who are new to AI-assisted development. We teach effective prompting strategies from Day 1, with dedicated skill guides for every aspect.

Absolutely! While we recommend Node.js + React + PostgreSQL, the AI-assisted development principles apply to any stack. Feel free to use Python, Go, Vue, Svelte, or whatever you're comfortable with.

Use the debugging templates in claude-skills/debugging-templates.md, ask Claude directly for help, or open an issue in the GitHub repository. The skill guides cover common pitfalls and solutions.

V1 (this bootcamp) teaches you to use Claude Code effectively as a solo developer building a complete app. V2 is the advanced track — you'll orchestrate 35+ specialized AI personas to build enterprise-scale systems for 20M+ users. Complete V1 first!

Yes! The entire curriculum, skill guides, and project specifications are completely open source. You'll need your own Claude Code access, but all bootcamp materials are free to use, modify, and share.

🔥 Ready for the Advanced Track?

Once you've mastered the fundamentals, take your skills to the next level with the Claude Code Bootcamp V2 — a 28-day intensive on orchestrating AI teams.
