Getting Started with Claude CODE

Getting Started with Claude Code — 10x Your Coding Speed with AI
Claude Code is an AI developer that lives in your terminal and works inside your IDE. This session is a live show-and-tell — no slides, just screens and real tools.

***

What We'll Cover

• What Claude Code is and how it differs from using Claude in a browser
• A walkthrough of the official quick start so you know exactly what installation looks like
• The CLAUDE.md file — what it is, how it shapes Claude's behaviour, and the difference between a global and project-level file
• How Claude's memory works and how to edit it at both the global and project level
• File structure and the slash commands that make Claude Code fast to use
• Custom commands — how to build your own shortcuts and automate repetitive tasks
• MCP servers — connecting Claude Code to external tools and services
• Agent capabilities — letting Claude Code plan and execute multi-step tasks on your behalf
• Claude Code live across the terminal, Cursor, Antigravity, and Codex — install it once, it works everywhere

Who Should Come

• Developers using Cursor or Copilot who want to go further
• Beginners who want to see AI-assisted coding in action
• Tech-savvy non-developers who want to start building and automating things faster

What You Need
Just curiosity. A Claude account (free or paid) will let you experiment straight after the session.
