Claude Code for the Rest of Us
A Non-Developer's Guide to AI-Powered Building
23 chapters on building real things with Claude Code; without writing code yourself.
A practical guide to building web prototypes, internal tools and automated workflows with Claude Code; starting from zero. Written for product managers, analysts, designers and anyone who's technically capable but has never had the right bridge between what they know needs building and actually building it.
- Set up Claude Code and have your first working conversation in minutes
- Read, navigate and manage code you didn't write (and don't need to understand line-by-line)
- Build web prototypes and internal tools from plain-language descriptions
- Create reusable skills that encode your domain knowledge and team workflows
- Deploy and share what you've built with others
What readers are saying
I've been preaching that this is the real benefit of AI for close to a year now. I think I caught one of the Principals at my company's attention when I demoed a tool for a design task that takes someone who is good at their job a day or two to do and reduced it to about 10 minutes while eliminating human input errors.frankyseven on Reddit
This is exactly what the industry needs right now. The "domain expert + AI" combo is arguably more powerful than "junior dev + AI" because the domain expert knows what to build, they just lacked the how.Specific-Act-6622 on Reddit
Just read the first few chapters and this looks really interesting. I've been working in service design for the past 10 years and have lost count of the thousands of concepts that have come up without the possibility of testing them effectively. For the "I don't know where to start" folk like me, this looks like a great intro.GloriaTheCamel on Reddit
As a purely mechanical design engineer looking to automate things in Solidworks, thank you!blissiictrl on Reddit
Looks good, I started 6 months ago, first Lovable, now mainly Antigravity. I was planning to switch to Claude this week, so this will help!kcikees on Reddit
Just the book I needed dearly. Thank you. Everything is now clearer.sse450 on Reddit
