Claude Code for Mortals

Everything a non-technical professional needs to go from confused to confident with Claude Code.

You've heard the buzz. Maybe you've tried it once, got stuck, and closed the terminal. This repo is the guide that should have existed from day one — a structured, plain-English curriculum that takes you from "what even is this?" to using Claude Code as a real part of how you work. No coding background required. No fluff.


Who This Is For

  • Founders and CEOs who want to use AI without learning to code
  • Marketers, ops leads, consultants, and product managers
  • Anyone who keeps hearing about Claude Code but has no idea where to start
  • People who tried it once, got lost, and want a proper on-ramp

What You'll Learn

By the end, you'll have a personal toolkit, a working understanding of the power features, and enough confidence to figure out the rest on your own.
