{ "item_title" : "Claude AI for Absolute Beginners", "item_author" : [" Tejas Jadhav "], "item_description" : "By the last page you will be able to do six things you cannot do today. You will write a prompt that gets the right answer on the first try. You will hand Claude your own files and get back a Word document, an Excel sheet, or a PowerPoint deck you would put your name on. You will set up work that runs on a schedule without you. You will open a terminal for the first time and run Claude Code, one keystroke at a time. You will build a working tool and publish a real website, without writing a line of code. You will check any answer before you trust it, and keep your private information out of the box. This book assumes no coding background. The author is not a programmer and has never worked as one. He wrote it for readers who have never typed a line of code and do not plan to start. SEVEN SUBJECTS, ONE BOOK- Chat and context - every button in the window, what a context window is, and why a long chat gets worse.- Vibe coding - describe what you want in plain English and build six small projects you can keep.- Cowork and automation - put Claude to work on the files already sitting on your computer, and schedule some of that work to run without you.- Claude Code - starts at opening a terminal window and ends at plan mode, permissions, and subagents.- GitHub - your first repository, a free live website, and keeping secrets out of a public repository.- The API and the Console - get a key safely, work out the cost before you spend, and write your first script line by line.- Skills, plugins, and MCP - each gets a real worked example before any explanation. Part 3 teaches prompting on its own terms. It gives you a five-part method, twelve techniques with a before-and-after for each, and fifteen prompts you will reuse for years. FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE THIS BOOK DIFFERENT 1. It covers all seven places Claude lives, not just the chat box.2. Every picture is a real screen from the author's own computer or a diagram drawn for this book. Nothing is borrowed and nothing is imagined.3. A non-programmer wrote it for non-programmers. The terminal chapters start at opening a terminal window.4. It tells you where the tool fails. Thirty-five chapters carry a warning box at the exact place beginners get hurt, five whole chapters are about failure alone, and a table at the back maps twenty-one symptoms to their fixes.5. You build things you keep - including a tool on your own computer and a website live on the internet. WHAT IS INSIDE 75 chapters in 15 parts. 66 figures. 78 numbered walkthroughs. A glossary of 46 plain-English terms. A prompt library. An index of every command. A self-check at the end of each part with the answers in the back. Chapter 73 lays out a thirty-day plan at twenty minutes a day. Every walkthrough was run on a real computer before it was printed. What did not work was corrected rather than tidied. READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY The first five parts run entirely on the free plan. Cowork is a paid feature, so Part 6 needs a paid plan. Claude reads pictures and does not generate them - Chapter 64 says so plainly. You need a computer running Windows or macOS; a phone is enough for the first ten chapters and no further.
