You now know how to use Claude Code to boost your Python workflow, how it differs from Claude Chat, and how to use it effectively in your development setup.
You’ve learned how to:

00:00 Congratulations, you made it to the last lesson of this video course. In this Code Conversation, you’ve learned how to differentiate between Claude Chat and Claude Code.
00:10
I showed you how to install and set up Claude Code. You worked with the CLAUDE.md file, which is one of the most important files when working with Claude Code.
00:20 And you used Git to stay in control of your changes and your workflows. In general, you saw how to perform your first steps in Claude Code and how a basic Claude Code workflow could look.
00:32 Of course, there are many, many more ways how you can use Claude Code. So if you use Claude Code in a different way, let us know in the comments below. If you were a little bit confused about the terminal use, there are actually three Code Conversations that I highly recommend: Using the Terminal on Windows, on macOS, and on Linux.
00:52 These are three different code conversations tackling the operating systems, and I speak in these Code Conversations with a different person, so I think all three of them are worth a watch in order to learn more about terminals.
01:06 But I’m also a bit biased. If you know your way around the terminal already, but might need to brush up your knowledge of Git, then there is a tutorial about Git and GitHub for Python developers.
01:19 There you will go way more in depth with how to use Git.
01:26 Of course, the main actor of this code conversation was AI, and we have a bunch of resources on Real Python about AI. And since this is such a fast-moving field, I recommend to look at our topics page about Python Coding With AI.
01:43 There you will always find the newest resources so you are always up to date in the world of Python and AI.
01:52 And that leaves me with this last slide of the Code Conversation, where I congratulate you again for finishing this course and say thanks for going into this Getting Started With Claude Code journey together.
02:06 I had fun. I hope you had fun too. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments and as always, have fun on realpython.com. Bye-bye.
