Hey - I have been building Future of Dev and recently, Claude Academy. My background, I have been running free Coding Bootcamps at my company for 7 years. I had a dream 10 years ago to make learning to code completely accessible and break down the barriers to learning. Claude & AI have now made this possible. Bootcamps like Le Wagon charge thousands and put you in a cohort, full-time, for weeks. I wanted to see if a similar outcome was achievable for the cost of a Claude Pro license ($18/month). I think teens looking for their next steps, prospective juniors currently studying at a university, or even potential career changers looking to come into the industry need to have a fighting chance. This doesn't go all the way, of course, but hopefully it's a solid foundation/start. How it works You download a zip file, open it in Claude Desktop with the "Code" tab and type /learn. That's it. Claude picks up exactly where you left off every single session. No login, no platform, no dashboard to navigate. Three commands run the whole thing: /learn — your AI tutor delivers the next lesson, runs exercises with you in real time, and only moves on when you're ready /progress — shows your completion %, current streak, and next milestone across all 64 lessons /homework — At the end of each phase, you build something. Not a quiz. Something real. The curriculum: 9 phases. 64 lessons. Web fundamentals → JavaScript → React → Astro → Tailwind → your portfolio → Git → deployment. Competency-ordered, not topic-ordered. You can't do React until you understand JavaScript. Every step earns the next. The output: A deployed portfolio site with a full git history that shows your entire learning journey and base Claude Code skillset. Something you can actually show someone. What it isn't: It's not a platform. It's not a course you watch. It's not a chatbot you ask questions to. It's a structured instructional system that runs inside Claude. The tutor (Claude) waits for you, adapts when something isn't landing, and keeps your progress automatically. It's in beta. I haven't had a full real-world run-through yet, which is partly why I'm posting. If you or anyone you know goes through it and finds issues or has suggestions, I would love to hear them. All you need is a Claude Pro license; the actual bootcamp is free: 👉 https://futureofdev.com/claude-a... I've also posted a wider insight piece around what I am calling Skill-based learning and impact to AI: 👉 https://futureofdev.com/insights... I will be using this framework to cover everything I have in my brain, from intermediate-level building & evaluating AI Agents, to more expert usages of Claude for senior engineers to manage legacy migrations in their businesses. I think the possibilities of Skill-based learning are endless. Happy to answer questions about how it's built if anyone's curious about the Bootcamp or the Skill-based learning framework underneath it.
