Our take
If you use Claude specifically (or you're picking between models), this is the canonical resource. Free, hosted on GitHub, with both a Jupyter-notebook variant and a Google Sheets variant for non-developers. Covers prompt structure, role/system prompts, chain-of-thought, tool-use schema, the constitutional-AI patterns Anthropic models respond to particularly well. Vendor-authored materials sometimes oversell; this one's the opposite — honest about model limits and where prompts fail.
About the instructor
Anthropic Education Team
Anthropic
Anthropic's own developer education team — the people who built the model also wrote the course.
Pros
- +Authored by Anthropic — the most accurate guide to Claude-specific patterns
- +Free, no signup, on GitHub
- +Two variants — developer (Jupyter) and non-developer (Google Sheets)
Cons
- −Claude-specific — patterns transfer, but examples are Claude-only
- −No certificate; this is community materials, not formal education
Best for
- · Anyone whose primary LLM is Claude (or who builds with Anthropic API)
- · Non-developers who want to learn prompting through the Google Sheets path
Not ideal for
- · People learning OpenAI / GPT specifics — use the DeepLearning.AI course instead
- · Resume-padders — no credential issued
