Anthropic’s courses repository is a growing collection of self-paced learning materials that teach practical AI skills using Claude and the Anthropic API. It’s organized as a sequence of hands-on courses—starting with API fundamentals and prompt engineering—so learners build capability step by step rather than in isolation. Each course mixes short readings with runnable notebooks and exercises, guiding you through concepts like model parameters, streaming, multimodal prompts, structured outputs, and evaluation. Assignments emphasize realistic tasks such as building small utilities, testing prompts against edge cases, and measuring quality so you learn to ship things that work. The materials are written for developers but remain friendly to newcomers, with clear setup instructions and minimal boilerplate. Because the repo is live and maintained, lessons are updated as the SDK and models evolve, and issues are used to track fixes, clarifications, and new modules.
