Free course · 5 lessons · the sequel

Build your first game. Then teach it to know your real work.

In one sitting you'll build a little pixel computer lab you can walk around with the arrow keys — and then do the part no game tutorial does: teach Claude Code to scan your actual computer and put your real projects on the screens inside it. It looks like a game. Underneath, it's how professionals separate data from code, automate their workflows, and give projects a memory.

Who it's for: Course 01 graduates
Time: 2–3 hours, one sitting
You need: Claude Code already set up
Cost: the course is free
🌱 Same honesty as Course 01: the course costs nothing, but Claude Code needs a paid Claude plan. If you haven't done Zero to Building yet, start there — this course assumes you can open a terminal and talk to Claude Code without flinching.

This is the thing you'll build — populated with sample projects here. Yours will show your actual work.
The path

Five lessons, one game that's secretly a dashboard.

🤖 Finished already? The sequel is live: Course 03 — Your First AI App, where this exact lab gets a live AI resident.

Running a business and would rather all this get built for you? That's literally my job — start with the free audit.
