Build with Claude Code: From zero to deployed apps with AI-assisted development

Turn ideas into working software with Claude Code. Build and deploy real apps while learning prompting, APIs, AI agents, MCP, Skills, plugins, and the practices that make AI-assisted development work. Key Features Build nine hands-on projects, progressing from simple web apps to AI-powered, database-connected applications Turn prompts into repeatable workflows with CLAUDE.md, commands, agents, and MCP Go beyond generated code to test, improve, and deploy applications that people can actually use Book DescriptionBuild with Claude Code shows you how to turn ideas into working applications through conversation, experimentation, and hands-on building. No prior programming experience is required. You'll start with a simple webpage before creating a marketing portfolio, a handwriting recognition program, a to-do app, and a quiz game. As your projects grow, you'll learn to write effective prompts, manage context, verify AI-generated content, work with CLAUDE.md, and create custom commands that turn repetitive tasks into reusable workflows. You'll then connect AI models through APIs and build FridgeChef, an app combining image recognition and text generation. Next, you'll create specialized Claude Code agents and assemble them into an AI development team with roles spanning product, frontend, backend, QA, and more. Finally, you'll extend Claude Code with MCP servers, Skills, and plugins, work with GitHub and Playwright, and use Vercel and Supabase to deploy a database-backed application. By the end, you'll have something more useful than coding theory. A practical way to take your next idea from prompt to deployed software.What you will learn Understand AI-assisted development and Claude Code workflows Write structured prompts that produce better results Manage projects with CLAUDE.md and custom commands Build AI-powered applications using external APIs Create specialized agents and AI development teams Connect tools and services through MCP servers Extend Claude Code using Skills and plugins Deploy database-backed apps with Vercel and Supabase Who this book is forLearn Claude Code by building with it. Each chapter introduces a more ambitious project, progressing from webpages and simple apps to APIs, AI agent teams, MCP, Skills, plugins, databases, and deployment. Step-by-step projects let beginners build without prior programming experience while teaching practices for getting reliable, repeatable results from AI-assisted development.
