Quick PSA for anyone going through the Anthropic learning stuff — there are two different tracks and it’s easy to land on the wrong one. Anthropic Academy (Claude 101, Claude Code 101, Cowork intro) = general public courses. Good intro material, but not the partner track. Claude Partner Network Learning Path = the actual partner courses. Skills, API, prompting — the technical stuff. This is the one you want if you’re going through the partner program with me. Here’s the right link: https://anthropic.skilljar.com/page/claude-partner-network-learning-path If you’re already deep into Claude 101 and enjoying it, no harm done — keep going. But don’t mistake it for the partner curriculum. Make sure you’re enrolled in the partner path so the work counts. Drop a comment if you hit any walls getting in.

Finished the first portion of the API section of the course. It can seem a little intimidating at first, especially with all the Python code and hand-typed examples, but just watch, listen, and follow along the best you can. The main thing to take away from this section is building a solid understanding of how it all works and what’s happening behind the scenes in a chatbot. I’m also putting together a small study guide based on this section, including how to ask Claude to write Python API code for you

Post any questions you have as you go through the “Building with the Claude API” course here—whether it’s about setup, API keys, prompts, tools, RAG, or anything else you get stuck on. I’ll check this thread regularly, do video responses where it helps, and hop on live sessions when I can so we can work through things together. Nothing is a dumb question in here—if you’re confused, ask, and I’ll do my best to get you unstuck and make sure you can move forward toward real builds.
