A Live Claude Code Seminar Series for Working Engineers

A seminar, in its real sense, is a small group of professionals working through a coherent body of material together with an expert. It is the format that produced most of the technical depth in the world before it got diluted into pre-recorded 'courses' and one-way webinars. Claude Camp runs the original version.

The seminar format has three non-negotiable constraints. First, the group is small — never more than twenty engineers so the instructor can hear and respond to every question. Second, the sessions are live so the conversation can move in response to what the cohort is actually running into. Third, the arc is coherent — each day builds on the last, and each block builds on the one before, so the cohort accumulates shared context as it goes.

Those three constraints are why seminar-format Claude Code training retains better than any other format we have tried. Engineers remember conversations. They forget slides.

The first seminar covers foundations — how LLMs, the Messages API, and Claude Code actually work, plus the full Claude product surface and a setup-and-sanity-check pass so every engineer starts Day 2 on the same footing. Two hours of focused content plus live discussion.

The second seminar is the Claude Code deep dive — the permission model, CLAUDE.md, memory and session management, MCP servers, custom slash commands, hooks, and a live build challenge on your own codebase. Three hours including hands-on breakouts.

The third seminar covers the advanced material — sub-agents, git worktrees for parallel execution, Routines, the Messages API with tool use and prompt caching, the Agent SDK, Managed Agents on Anthropic infrastructure, and the Advisor Tool pattern. Three hours ending in a capstone project presentation.

• Day 1 seminar — Foundations and setup (2 hours)
• Day 2 seminar — Claude Code in depth on your codebase (3 hours)
• Day 3 seminar — Agents, the API, and Managed Agents (3 hours)
• Every seminar followed by hands-on breakouts with peers

Practicing engineers who have at least a basic familiarity with Claude — Chat, Claude Code, or the API — and want the structured seminar treatment of the full surface instead of picking it up piecemeal from documentation and Discord posts. Engineers who attend tend to have one to ten years of professional experience, are shipping production code somewhere, and are specifically frustrated by how uneven Claude usage is on their team.

This is not a seminar for AI researchers, non-technical audiences, or people who want a high-level strategy overview. It is a working session for engineers who write code.
