Intro to Claude Code for Web Development

Thursday 19th March 6:30pm at Colony, One Silk Street

This month, Rob Whittaker will run a workshop: "Intro to Claude Code for Web Development."

We'll work in pairs on the NWRUG website itself. We'll add OpenGraph meta tags so event pages look better when shared on Bluesky and Mastodon. Experienced AI users will pair with newcomers. There are no passive slides. Everyone gets hands-on with Claude Code, discussing prompts together before trying them.

Bring a laptop with Ruby, the Claude Code CLI, and a GitHub account. No prior AI tooling experience needed.
