I am giving a one-hour workshop for college students (primarily graduate students) to show them how to use Claude Code to develop software prototypes. These prototypes can then be used for their eventual thesis/dissertation research projects. In the past, graduate students in my field had to rely on recruiting software engineering students and/or applying for grants to hire a SE part-time to help build a basic prototype. I know that with CC they can do the same and likely get their project further along the development timeline. I plan to show them how I use chat with a lower model to work through the program development plan, then transition to the terminal with a higher Sonnet or Opus effort level (depending on the project’s complexity) for the actual development. I will share some of the tips, tricks, and lessons I learned along the way, but I would love to hear any that you have so they can get the most out of this workshop. submitted by /u/multifidus
