Who This Is For

Built for Appraisers Who Have Never Written a Line of Code

You're a working appraiser curious about AI tools

You've heard the buzz. You want to see what these tools can actually do for your practice. In this course, you'll use Claude Code to build a real dashboard from ASC.gov data, start to finish.

You've never used a terminal, VS Code, or any coding tool

That's exactly who this course was built for. Every step is shown on screen, from the very first install to the final deployment. Nothing is assumed. Nothing is skipped.

You want to build something real and keep it

The data is real ASC.gov data. The dashboard answers real questions. You'll leave with a deployed tool you can keep using, and the confidence to build your next one on your own.
