Hands-On: Code Generation with Claude

Hands-On: Code Generation with Claude Bootcamp

Nov. 4 & 5, 2026

A 2-Day Intensive Virtual Course

Claude Code can meaningfully speed up development, but the gains depend on how you work with it. This hands-on virtual TDWI workshop covers the habits that make the difference: clear project instructions, plan-before-edit sessions, and verification loops Claude can run until every check passes. Over two half-days, you'll practice on real tasks and leave with an actionable playbook for your own repos.

About Your Workshop

9:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Level: Beginner to Intermediate

This course will take place on Wednesday, November 4th and Thursday, November 5th.

Sessions run from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PT / 12 - 3:30 p.m. ET and will be recorded.

AI-assisted code generation can meaningfully speed up development work and lift team productivity, but only when it's paired with the right habits and guardrails. Most of the value from Claude Code comes from a small set of habits: clear project instructions, plan-before-edit for non-trivial work, and a verification loop Claude can run until all checks pass.

Level: Beginner to Intermediate

This course will take place on Wednesday, November 4th and Thursday, November 5th.

Sessions run from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PT / 12 - 3:30 p.m. ET and will be recorded.

In this virtual, hands-on TDWI workshop—focused on how to use Claude Code effectively for code generation, not data analysis—you will practice those high-leverage workflows across two consecutive half-days.

Attendees will set up project guidance, run plan-then-implement sessions, fix bugs and ship changes against tests, and add simple guardrails (permissions, automation, human review) so agentic coding stays safe enough to use day to day.

You will leave with a practical playbook you can apply on your own repos.

You Will Learn

How to get strong results from Claude Code with a small set of high-leverage habits and workflows
How to set up project instructions and context so Claude works well in your codebase
How to plan before editing on non-trivial work, then implement with Claude Code
How to use tests and other checks so Claude can iterate until the work is actually done
Hands-on practice with common coding workflows in Claude Code, from exploration and bug fixes through commits and pull requests
How to add practical guardrails—permissions, automation, and human review—so agentic coding stays safe to use day to day
How to use advanced Claude Code workflows—including running work in parallel—and when they are worth it versus everyday habits

Geared To

Data science and analytics managers
ML engineering leads and player-coaches
Technical individual contributors newer to agentic AI tooling
BI/Analytics professionals seeking practical productivity gains

Pre-requisites

Basic familiarity with Python is helpful but not required. No advanced coding or AI expertise needed.

Laptop Setup:

This is a virtual course. Students need a laptop with Claude Code installed and working for the hands-on labs.

Note on Corporate Laptops:

This course requires installation of Claude Code (Anthropic) as well as the ability to download lab code and data files. If your corporate laptop prevents these activities, we recommend you use a personal device instead.

System and Software Requirements:

Windows PC or Mac with:

A modern browser

Claude Code installed and signed in (claude.ai/code)

A paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, or Team) is strongly recommended for full agent usage during labs

Git and a modern terminal

Python 3.10+ with the ability to create a virtual environment

Ability to clone GitHub repositories used in the labs

Setup:

Instructions will be available on the seminar site prior to the event. You must prepare your laptop before the seminar begins.

There is no time allotted in class for laptop preparation.

Dear [Supervisor Name],

I would like to enroll in the Code Generation with Claude Bootcamp, a virtual intensive masterclass by TDWI. The class is split across two half-days, November 4 and 5.

The course will provide a reliable playbook to use Claude Code effectively, including how to add simple guardrails so agentic coding stays safe enough to use day to day.

The masterclass includes hands-on assignments and a digital course book, and it will be recorded for on-demand reference. Plus, when I complete the course, I will earn a TDWI certificate. This schedule will also allow me to learn directly with the instructor while also keeping my calendar available for the second half of each day.

We can save $100 with Early Bird pricing – the two-day package is $499 through October 16 (or $599 within 2 weeks of the event).
