Meet your project before you change it
Install Claude Code, open the walking club's page in its own folder and check Claude's explanation against the file.
Take over the walking club's website
Ridgeway Walkers, a volunteer walking club, has a one-page website. The volunteer who built it has moved away, and the club secretary, Ines, has asked you to look after it. The club, its people and the page are fictional, made for this course. Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent: it reads the files in a folder, edits them and runs commands, and it can ask your permission first. You'll need a computer with macOS 13 or later, Windows 10 (version 1809) or later, or Linux, and a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, or a Claude Console account. The free Claude plan doesn't include Claude Code, and myoh Plus doesn't include a Claude plan. Your Claude Code use counts towards the same usage limits as your Claude chats. Example replies in these lessons are authored illustrations, not recordings of Claude Code; your replies will differ.
