I've got a CS degree and some experience in tech-adjacent roles, but I've never actually built an app from start to finish. I'm eager to dive back into app development and I want to know the most effective way to work with Claude. Any advice, examples, or guidance on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated!

Check out this workflow video! It really breaks down how to work through the coding process effectively with Claude: https://youtu.be/dCSSoKs6R5I
Are you thinking of building for mobile or web? Many people here recommend using Claude Desktop paired with a command line for editing files. It's a solid setup! I've been using Claude Code with a max subscription, but I get that might be a lot if you're just starting out. I'm really interested to hear about your journey as you learn from scratch!
This might seem basic, but have you tried asking Claude directly? Having a clear goal is key, since random coding won't lead you anywhere specific.
I'm leaning towards web apps for now since I have a bit more experience there. I'm curious if diving into mobile might be more challenging.
