Alright guys, I just finished the first course and it was really cool—I learned a lot. It was about Claude skills and only about 45 minutes long, so it was a nice warm-up. With that being said, the next one is around 8.5 hours, so we’ve got some real training to do lol. If you have any questions or have a hard time accessing the courses, let me know—I’ll be adding the new members soon so everyone can get in. I’m also going to add a new thread just for this course where you guys can post all of your questions. I’ll go live in there as much as I can and also do video responses when needed. Whatever you guys need, just ask—I’ll do my best to make sure everyone gets through with a solid understanding, and once we all finish, we can start doing some real builds together.

Hey everyone, Quick update: I’ve just finished setting up Google Workspace accounts for those of you joining the Anthropic course. You’ll be getting an email from me at your regular address with your new Workspace username and temporary password. Once you log in the first time, you’ll be able to create your own password. You don’t need to do anything else right now—over the next few days I’ll be enrolling you into the Anthropic course using these new accounts and will post again once everything is live. If you don’t see the email, check your spam/promotions folder, and if it’s still not there just DM me and I’ll resend your details.

Big news dropped today. CMD & Conquer just got approved for the Anthropic Claude Partner Network. Here’s where you come in. To unlock the next milestone I need 10 members to complete the official Anthropic Academy learning path. This is literally what this community was built for. You’re already here learning to build with Claude — now you can get certified by Anthropic themselves and help push us toward official partnership status. First 10 to complete it become part of the foundation of what CMD & Conquer is growing into. Real credentials. Real opportunity to work alongside me on client engagements as we scale. Drop a comment if you want in and I’ll get you the details.

Here is Claude’s welcome video if you want to watch and see what this training is all about:

This is the part that stops most people. Opening the terminal for the first time feels like you're about to break something. You're not. This is a live walkthrough where I install Claude Code from scratch and explain every step as I go. Pause when you need to. Follow along at your own pace. When this video is done your environment is ready and the building starts.
