Application Development Training with Claude
About Education
This training is designed for developers, product managers, and tech enthusiasts who want to add a new dimension to application development processes using Anthropic's powerful artificial intelligence model, Claude. Throughout the training, Claude's API capabilities, natural language processing (NLP), data analysis, content creation, automation, and artificial intelligence-powered application scenarios will be covered in detail. Participants will gain hands-on knowledge on topics such as how to develop interactive applications with Claude, how to process user inputs, and how to interpret Claude's outputs.
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of software development (Python, JavaScript or similar language preferred)
- Basic information about API usage
- General familiarity with artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts (preferred but not required)
Duration of Training
- With instructor: 3 days of practical training (online or on-site)
Who Should Participate?
- Application developers and software engineers
- Product managers and digital transformation professionals
- Entrepreneurs who want to integrate AI solutions into their products
