Agentic Application Development with Claude Code

Agentic Application Development with Claude Code is a practical, hands-on course that demonstrates how AI coding agents change the way software is built. Unlike an AI assistant that generates code inside a conversation, an agent works directly within the development environment – reading project files, running commands, testing its own work, and correcting errors without waiting for each instruction. Using Claude Code, participants will learn how this workflow operates and how to direct it effectively.

Participants will explore the fundamentals of AI agents and Claude Code, prepare a local development environment, and learn how Claude Code works with project files, context, permissions, sessions, memory, and command-line tools. The course then demonstrates how to use Claude Code to build an application from defined requirements, test and refine the application, and deploy it to Google Cloud using Cybrec Cloud Labs.

By combining AI coding agents with cloud-native deployment, this course provides a realistic introduction to a workflow in which the engineer defines the objective, sets the boundaries, and validates the result.

Course Summary

Learn how to build, test, and deploy a cloud application using Claude Code, an AI coding agent that works directly inside your development environment.

Level
  • Understand the fundamentals of AI agents and agentic application development
  • Explore Claude Code as an AI coding agent for application development
  • Prepare local development environments and project workspaces for Claude Code
  • Configure Claude Code sessions, permissions, context, memory, and command-line tools
  • Develop applications from structured requirements using Claude Code
  • Test and refine applications with the assistance of Claude Code
  • Deploy applications to Google Cloud using Claude Code and Cybrec Cloud Labs
  • Verify deployed applications in a real cloud environment

This course is intended for developers, cloud engineers, and IT professionals who want to use AI agents in real development work rather than only inside a chat window. It suits anyone who has already used an AI assistant to generate code and is ready to stop copying that output into a project by hand. Engineers working with cloud infrastructure and automation will find the workflow directly applicable, as will anyone who builds and deploys applications and wants to move faster without losing control of the result. Students who completed Building Cloud Applications with AI will recognize the same deployment workflow, this time carried out by an agent rather than manually.

Students should be comfortable working at the command line and have a basic understanding of Python or another programming language. No Google Cloud account is required, as Cybrec Cloud Labs provides a preconfigured cloud environment for every exercise.
