Claude Code / Codex 101

By the end of this workshop you’ll complete three shipped exercises:

1. Personal portfolio website (create + maintain + deploy)
   You’ll generate a clean site, edit it safely, push to GitHub, and deploy to a live URL (optional: custom domain + HTTPS).
2. Landing page + signup funnel (real business asset)
   Build a simple landing page for an idea (event, service, product) with:

• clear sections (value prop, FAQ, pricing/CTA)
• a contact/signup form
• deployed live via GitHub → Render
  (This is the fastest “I can actually use this tomorrow” win.)

3. A tiny “Operator” web app (input → useful output)
   Build a small web app with a form + database that does one job extremely well—examples:

• notes → structured brief
• intake → task list + email draft
• meeting → decisions + next steps
  You’ll ship it as a real app with a URL you can share.

We’ll use a requirements-driven flow: define the job, define “done,” lock constraints—and land a deployment-ready web app you can actually use and share.

Cost: $100

What you need:

• A laptop
• Willingness to follow along and run commands (paint-by-number style)
• Optional: a real workflow/problem you want the app to handle (there will be time reserved to run your own projects!)

Workflow Examples:

• content generation for marketing, branding, story telling, etc.
• report and brief generation
• chatbot generation & management
• camera stream curation, transformation
• much and many more (and you can bring your own!)

Schedule:

• 6pm-8pm: We’ll get everyone running locally, then do a few tight iterations of the loop (requirements → plan → build → run → improve) until you’ve shipped a deployment-ready baseline. Repeat for each project.
• 8pm-9pm (choose-your-own): Apply the same template to your workflow/problem. I’ll help you adapt the app(s) to your “X” and get you pointed at a clean next step (and optionally deploy if you’re not already live).
