In our weekly live Q&A just now, @Nicole Gardner and @Paula Weigel mentioned learning VS Code with Claude. Whol is interested in having a 30 min walk through of the basics of VS Code? Please let me know in the poll!

Thanks to @Paula Weigel feedback, I've added the Breaking Bad picture back into the 1.2 Orchestrate multi-agent systems video. Nothing you've already learned changes. It's just one more analogy to make hub-and-spoke stick. What's new: - Use the series Breaking Bad to explain the nature of a hub-and-spoke architecture. Haven't seen the show? No problem, the project manager version is still there. Already watched 1.2? You don't need to rewatch it. Just jump to 2:17 for the Walt part. It takes about 40 seconds. Where to find it - Video: Classroom → CCAF Video Series: Domain 1 → 1.2 Orchestrate multi-agent systems (same lesson, new version) - Slides: the student deck at the bottom of the lesson has one new page, Walt and Saul (page 5) - Reading version: the same picture is now in the text version of the lesson You like the materials and want to access our weekly live Q&A calls?

Hi everyone! Domain 4 will start tomorrow. Two new lessons are already in the Classroom. What's new - 4.1 Design prompts with explicit criteria: why "be conservative" or "only report high-confidence findings" changes nothing, and what to write instead. There's also a fable analogy, the shepherd boy and the wolf, to show why one noisy category makes people ignore the accurate ones, and when to switch that category off. - 4.2 Apply few-shot prompting: why few-shot examples help, then the five scenarios from the exam guide. Each scenario has its own short example, from labelling your inbox to pulling a phone number out of an email. Both lessons end with the exam traps and one practice question. Where to find it - Classroom → CCAF Video Series: Domain 4 → 4.1 and 4.2 - Slides: the student deck at the bottom of each lesson - Reading version: in the lesson text, if you'd rather read than watch ❓Questions, or a spot where you got stuck? Drop it below. I'd love to help. 👀 Can't find the classroom? Upgrade to keep getting quality CCAF learning materials!
