About This Book

Claude Code isn't just another IDE plugin or code completion tool—it's a paradigm shift in how we build software. It's an AI agent that lives in your terminal, understands your codebase, and collaborates with you as a capable partner.

This guide is designed for developers who are experienced in their craft but new to working with AI coding assistants. We won't teach you programming fundamentals—we assume you know those. Instead, we'll teach you how to think differently about development when you have an AI collaborator.
