Claude Code: Software Engineering with Generative AI Agents

Coursera · Intermediate ·💻 AI-Assisted Coding ·2mo ago
Master AI-Assisted Development with Claude Code: From Fear to 1000X Productivity Transform your software engineering practice by learning to work effectively with AI as your development partner. This comprehensive course takes you from initial skepticism about AI coding tools to confidently leveraging Claude Code for dramatic productivity gains. In just the first few lessons, you'll learn to have Claude Code build entire applications in minutes - complete with user interfaces, databases, and business logic. By the end of this course, you'll know how to orchestrate Claude Code working concurrently across multiple git branches, with parallel AI agents developing different features simultaneously and automatically integrating their work. This isn't about getting better autocomplete - it's about fundamentally changing how software gets built. You'll discover how to treat AI as scalable development labor, implement the "Best of N" pattern to generate multiple solution approaches, and establish robust quality assurance processes that ensure AI-generated code meets professional standards. The course covers essential skills like writing effective CLAUDE.md files for project context, creating reusable commands for common workflows, and managing parallel development streams with git worktrees and AI subagents. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you'll learn to overcome the common fears engineers have about AI tools while building practical systems for code evaluation, documentation generation, and feature development. By the end, you'll have a complete toolkit for scaling your development capabilities and a personalized process that fits your workflow. What You'll Learn: - Break free from micromanaging Claude Code and start delegating like a tech lead managing a team of senior developers - Write "big prompts" that get Claude Code building entire features instead of generating single functions you copy-paste - Use the "Best of N" pattern with Claude C
