Docker 101 & Beyond the Prompt: Lessons from Building with Claude Code

Join our Discord by clicking here - https://discord.gg/RGFGV8gKxB

This month we have two talks lined up for y'all.

We have a lightning talk about Docker teaching new users how it works presented by Joshua Copeland.

Next up we have Scott Scoble Presenting "Beyond the Prompt: Lessons from Building with Claude Code"

Based on hands-on experience integrating Claude Code into development workflows, this presentation shares practical insights for maximizing effectiveness when working with AI coding assistants. We'll explore what works—and what doesn't—when delegating coding tasks from the command line, including prompt engineering strategies, task decomposition techniques, and workflow patterns that leverage Claude's strengths while mitigating its limitations. Attendees will learn actionable approaches to context management, iterative refinement, and hybrid human-AI development that can immediately improve their productivity with Claude Code and similar tools.

Our monthly Vegas Programmers users' group meets at 6pm on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at Corporate Coworking. All levels of experience are welcome. We love to share knowledge and talk about the latest in programming, AI, web dev, mobile app development, and more.

Every month we have a technical talk presented by members of the group. If you have a talk you'd like to share, email me [Josh@RemoteDevForce.com](http://Josh@remotedevforce.com/)
