Programme Objectives

  • Build foundational proficiency in using Claude Code for AI-assisted and agentic software development.
  • Apply structured instructions and project context to help Claude understand, generate, modify, and refactor code effectively.
  • Use Claude Code for debugging, testing, code review, documentation, and multi-file development activities.
  • Configure reusable project instructions, tools, and workflow context using CLAUDE.md and MCP.
  • Apply secure permission, sandboxing, verification, Git, and human-review practices when working with coding agents.

Scenarios

Feature Requirement to Tested Implementation

Business Requirement → Repository Exploration → Plan Mode → Claude Code Implementation → Automated Tests → Git Diff Review → Integration-Ready Feature

Participants use Claude Code to understand an existing application, plan a feature, modify the relevant files, generate and execute tests, and prepare verified changes for developer review.

Production Defect to Verified Fix

Bug Report → Logs / Error Context → Codebase Investigation → Root-Cause Analysis → Code Fix → Regression Tests → Human Review

Participants use Claude Code to investigate a reproducible software defect, identify its likely cause, implement a correction, generate regression tests, and verify the solution before integration.
