Claude Code 101
Anthropic's own starting point: what Claude Code is, installing it, the explore → plan → code → commit loop, and the customization layer (CLAUDE.md, subagents, skills, MCP, hooks). Short and current; you get a completion badge, not a certificate.

Claude Code in Action
The follow-up to Claude Code 101: steering long sessions, a CLAUDE.md that actually gets followed, permission modes, hooks, headless and scheduled runs, GitHub Actions, and verifying unsupervised work. Best for people already using Claude Code daily; completion badge only.
