Deciding What to Build
For fun, for money, or to help someone. A few questions worth asking before you give your next big idea months of your life.

Build an app with Claude.
Understand how it works.
I’m building a free course for people who want to create an app without needing to read or write code. We’ll build a personal-training app with a client mobile app, a trainer website, bookings, payments and a character that changes as you train.
You’ll learn to direct the AI, understand the architecture, define what should happen, assess test results and investigate problems. Claude handles the code; you learn how to judge the result.
The lessons are in development. The final schedule and launch date are still to be confirmed. Teaching will be free; any required tool and service costs will be explained separately.
What to expect
- Clear explanations alongside a real build.
- Videos, written guides and useful project resources.
- Practice checking the work and recovering when things go wrong.
