Seventeen Lessons and Counting

The campus has seventeen lessons right now. They cover everything from setting up Claude Code for the first time to building a game to talking to your computer with your voice. That sounds like a lot, and it is. But every workshop reveals more questions that need answers.

Someone asks how to use Claude with their photos. Someone else wants to know how to manage multiple projects. A third person just wants to understand what a terminal is before they do anything else. Each question is a potential lesson.

One Lesson at a Time

It would be tempting to plan out fifty lessons and write them all at once. I could do that. But the best lessons come from real questions, and real questions come from real workshops with real people.

When Nick runs a workshop and someone gets stuck on something, that is a signal. When three people ask the same question in a week, that is a strong signal. Those signals become lessons.

Why "Done" Is the Wrong Word

A campus for beginners cannot be done because beginners are always changing. The tools change. Claude gets updates. New features appear. Old steps stop working. A lesson that was perfect three months ago might need a rewrite because a button moved or a menu changed.

And beyond maintenance, there are always new topics. AI tools expand what is possible every few months. A year from now, people will be doing things with Claude that we cannot even describe today. Those things will need lessons too.

Growth Without Bloat

The risk of a campus that keeps growing is that it becomes overwhelming. Seventeen lessons in a skill tree is manageable. Seventy might not be. The challenge going forward is to add new lessons without making the campus harder to use.

That might mean grouping lessons into tracks. Or adding a "start here" flow for true beginners. Or letting people skip ahead if they already know the basics. The structure will need to evolve as the content grows.

One More Lesson

For now, the plan is simple. Listen to what people ask. Write the lesson that answers it. Test it with someone who has never used Claude before. If they can follow it without getting stuck, publish it. Then listen again.

The campus is never done. That is not a problem. That is the whole point.
