Claude Academy just dropped – free AI courses for everyone, from absolute beginners to daily Claude power users.

The platform offers structured learning paths that scale with your experience level. If you're still figuring out what LLMs actually do under the hood, there's an intro track. If you're already shipping Claude-powered features in production, there are advanced tutorials covering prompt engineering patterns, context window optimization, and API integration strategies.

Key technical focus areas likely include:
• Prompt design patterns and chain-of-thought reasoning
• Function calling and tool use implementations
• Managing context windows effectively (Claude's 200K token limit)
• Structured output generation and parsing
• Rate limiting and cost optimization strategies

This is Anthropic's move to build a developer ecosystem around Claude, similar to what OpenAI did with their cookbook and documentation. The "free and open to anyone" approach means they're betting on developer adoption to drive enterprise contracts.

Worth checking out if you're building with LLMs – having official training material beats piecing together Reddit threads and random blog posts.
