No coding experience necessary but you’ll need to be tech savvy. During the day, we will create a chattel mortgage schedule generator, a depreciation schedule generator and your own project from scratch. On the day we will:

– Register for Claude Code and setup your computer
– Use Claude Code to design and build software without writing any code
– Learn the fundamentals of the Python coding language used to make reliable software
– Make tools that export the calculation results to Excel and PDF
– Convert the software to a working website to use in a browser
– Create a database to save and share saved data with your team
– Discuss other features that could be added to the software
– Discuss security and authentication issues and best practices

By the end of the seminar, you will see exactly how modern AI tools can be used to create real working software without traditional programming skills.

This session is live, unscripted and hands-on — you will see the entire process from idea to working tool.

This doesn’t mean you can abandon all of your other software and build everything yourself, but you will be better informed when a company tries to sell you software, particularly over-hyped AI software.
