Imagine transforming your commercial vision into a tangible, live product without writing a single line of code. This isn't a future possibility; it's the reality you'll step into with Claude Code. 

The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macao is pleased to present "Launch Your Vision: Build Websites & Apps with Claude Code in 3 Hours! " in collaboration with Midas Analytics​. Join us on Tuesday, May 19, from 6 pm to 9 pm at the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macao Office.

This intensive, hands-on workshop is designed for entrepreneurs and innovators eager to use AI to build and deploy real-world websites and apps, regardless of their technical background. In just three power-packed hours, you will move beyond theory and build a functional understanding of how Claude Code can serve as your personal AI coding agent, accelerating your path from concept to market.

This workshop is practical and results-driven. It is designed for ambitious professionals who are done with the hype and ready for real results. This three-hour experience will take you from zero to fully operational with your own launched product before you leave the room.

In this workshop, we will guide you through three powerful steps:

• Claude Code 101 → The Foundation: No more guesswork. We will break down exactly how to use Claude Code to define your project's architecture, database schema, and technology stack. You'll learn to translate your vision into a robust technical blueprint using plain language, ensuring your product is built on a solid foundation from day one.

• Rapid Development & Prototyping → Bringing Your Idea to Life: This is where your idea takes shape. We will guide you through using Claude Code as your development partner to rapidly build functional prototypes and key features. From user interfaces to backend logic, you'll experience firsthand how AI accelerates the build cycle and transforms concepts into interactive applications.

• Deployment & Launch → From Sandbox to the World: Your product isn't real until it's live. In this final step, you will learn how to deploy your Claude Code-built website or app to a live environment. We'll cover AI-assisted deployment and CI/CD essentials, ensuring your application is secure, scalable, and ready for your first users.

This is not a lecture. This is not a demo. This is a live, hands-on build session where you roll up your sleeves and walk out with something real, something powerful, and something entirely yours.
