Does this cover both Windows and Mac?

Yes — every step includes instructions for both macOS and Windows so you can follow along regardless of your machine.

What is Claude AI and why does the guide use it?

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. This guide shows you how to integrate it into your workflow so you have instant coding help as you learn — without needing to tab away from your editor.
