4-week weekend program · Colombo
How to build anything with Claude Code
Leave with a fully working application in 4 weeks, built by you. Having the same app built by an outside developer would cost you more than this course. Plus 1 month of build support after.
Small class of 8 to 10. Message Anna on WhatsApp for fees, dates and seat availability.
Built for people who run things, not people who code
Founders and business owners
You want a tool for your own business and you are tired of waiting for someone else to build it.
Managers who keep asking IT
You keep asking for something small and waiting months. Now you can just build it yourself.
The ChatGPT tinkerer
You tried ChatGPT and thought, why can I not just make this into a real app. This is how.
No coding background needed. If you can brief a person, you can brief Claude Code.
In the last class you demo your own live app
A working web app at a public link
Live on the internet, built by you, ready to show a customer.
Frontend, database and backend
All yours, running on free-tier hosting at this scale.
The full stack on your laptop
Set up so you keep building long after the course ends.
1 month of build support
In the alumni WhatsApp group, so you are never stuck alone.

Questions
Do I need any coding experience?
No. The course is designed for people who have never opened a terminal. Week 1 starts with installation.
Windows or Mac?
Both. Every install step is shown side by side.
What app can I build?
Anything with screens and data: a booking tool, a customer portal, an internal tracker, a quote calculator. We keep it to 3 screens so it is finished in 4 weeks.
How much is it, and when is the next class?
Message Anna on WhatsApp (077 679 8921) for the current fee, the next class dates, payment options and seats left.
What does it cost beyond the fee?
A Claude Pro subscription (paid to Anthropic) and nothing else. Hosting and database run on free tiers at this scale.
What if I miss a session?
Sessions are not recorded. You get the slides and help in the course WhatsApp group to catch up, but the hands-on build time cannot be repeated, so plan to attend all 4.
Is there a certificate?
Yes, if you attend all 4 sessions and finish a fully working app: a Certificate of Completion from Silk Route Ventures, with a verification link you can add to LinkedIn. It records the course you completed and the app you built. It is not a professional certification or accredited qualification, and the course is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
What happens after the 4 weeks?
1 month of build support in the alumni WhatsApp group, so you are never stuck on your own.
How do I pay?
Bank transfer after your seat is confirmed on WhatsApp. Details sent with the confirmation.
Reserve your seat
Submitting does not confirm a seat. Anna confirms on WhatsApp within 24 hours.
