Hands-on workshop · online & on-site
You direct. The agents type.
Your team is using AI. But are they using it well? Turn unpredictable "vibe coding" into a reliable, reviewable, spec-driven workflow with Claude Code — then step up to directing a team of AI agents as Product Owner. Co-presented by Emmz Rendle and Dylan Beattie.
AI coding assistants are powerful — but without structure, they produce inconsistent results. Context gets lost between sessions. Requirements drift. Code reviews become guesswork. You end up fixing AI mistakes instead of shipping features.
Spec-driven development creates a shared understanding between your team and the AI — before any code is written. The result: faster development, fewer rework cycles, and code that actually matches what you wanted. The specs don't add bureaucracy — they replace the mental overhead of remembering what you decided last Tuesday.
One workshop, two formats. The same curriculum is delivered either as a private one-day business session for your team, or as two consecutive half-day public sessions (4 hours each). Hands-on, adapted to your stack — you'll leave with working setups you can commit that day. And it's live, not a video course: this field moves too fast for a recording to stay accurate, so we keep the workshop current with the latest developments.
The same curriculum is delivered either as one full day (private/business) or as two consecutive half-day sessions of 4 hours each (public).
One agent is a tool. A team of agents is a workforce.
Public sessions use TypeScript/Node.js for the worked examples. Business workshops adapt every exercise to your language, framework, and tooling.
Emmz has been writing software professionally for 30+ years, and has spent the last year using Claude Code for real production work.
A keynote speaker with talks at NDC, GOTO, and others, Emmz brings a developer-to-developer perspective: no hype, no fluff, just workflows that actually work on real codebases.
Dylan Beattie is a software consultant, developer, and speaker with over 25 years of experience building and shipping software. Known for talks at NDC, JFokus, and dozens of other conferences worldwide, Dylan has been using AI-assisted workflows in production systems and writes about engineering practices at dylanbeattie.net.
Dylan runs Ursatile Ltd, through which workshop payments are collected and invoiced (VAT registered).
Effective Claude Code is co-presented by Emmz Rendle and Dylan Beattie — two practitioners using Claude Code on real production work.
Two consecutive half-day sessions (4 hours each), online via Zoom. £500 per person (+ VAT). Tickets are booked online via Eventbrite — see upcoming dates.
One full day (8 hours) for your engineering team, online or in-person at your premises, fully adapted to your stack. Suitable for 8–20 engineers. Pricing on request — get in touch.
Attendees need a Claude Pro subscription (or Anthropic API key). Claude Max is recommended to get the most from the agent-persona and parallel-workflow material.
Running a private workshop for your engineering organisation? We'll adapt the full curriculum to your stack, tooling, and codebase — and deliver it as a single intensive day, online or on-site.
Whether you're rolling out AI tooling across a team for the first time, or you want to level up engineers who are already experimenting with Claude Code, the business workshop gives everyone the same shared vocabulary, the same reliable workflow, and working setups they can commit before the session ends. And it isn't only for engineers — we've run it with mixed technical and non-technical groups, and it works: the AI does the typing, and everyone learns to direct it.
Get in touch to discuss dates, group size, and format. Pricing is on request.
Tickets and payment are handled by Eventbrite.
No — you'll get a setup checklist beforehand, and the workshop itself starts from first principles. You need basic command-line experience and a Claude Pro subscription (Max recommended).
Same curriculum, different delivery. The public workshop runs online over two consecutive half-day sessions (4 hours each) and is booked per person on Eventbrite. The business workshop is a private one-day session for your team, online or on-site, adapted to your stack, with pricing on request.
Pick a date from Upcoming Public Dates and book through Eventbrite — tickets, payment and confirmation are all handled there. You'll get joining instructions and a setup checklist by email before the workshop.
No. The exercises are gentle enough for newcomers and meaty enough for veterans — we've run this workshop with mixed groups of engineers and non-technical folk, and it works well. Claude Code does the typing; the workshop teaches you to direct it. Basic command-line comfort helps, but it's about workflow and specification, not programming fundamentals.
Public workshops use TypeScript/Node.js for examples; private business workshops are fully adapted to your stack.
Because this field is moving too fast for one. A recorded course might be out of date a week after you buy it — commands change, tools get deprecated, better workflows emerge. We keep this workshop up to date with the latest developments, so what you learn is what works now.
It's co-presented by Emmz Rendle and Dylan Beattie — two practitioners using Claude Code on real production work.
Yes — workshop payments are collected via Eventbrite and invoiced through Ursatile (Dylan Beattie's company, VAT registered). Get in touch if you need a VAT invoice for your booking.
Yes — 30 days of email follow-up support is included.
