{"product_id":"claude-code-ken-kousen-9798295900648","title":"Claude Code: Up and Running: Harness the Power of Agentic Coding","description":"\u003cp\u003eClaude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool for the terminal, designed as an autonomous agent rather than a suggestion engine. It reads files, writes code across multiple files, executes shell commands, works with Git, and connects to external services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). If you're comfortable in the terminal, but new to agentic AI tools, this book is your starting point. You'll learn what the documentation doesn't cover: where Claude Code looks for CLAUDE.md files, how skill path resolution works, and when headless mode beats an interactive session.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eClaude Code: Up and Running\u003c\/em\u003e, educator and Java Champion Ken Kousen takes you through hands-on examples covering permissions, trust levels, context windows, MCP integrations, model switching, custom slash commands, and multi-agent workflows. A companion GitHub repository with CLAUDE.md templates, hooks, and MCP snippets remains a useful resource long after your first read.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall and authenticate Claude Code within 15 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConfigure CLAUDE.md files and project-specific behavior\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnect external services through MCP integrations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWork with permissions, trust levels, and context windows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRun Claude Code in terminal, IDE, and CI\/CD environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Kousen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798295900648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ken Kousen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997951963391,"sku":"9798295900648","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claude-code-ken-kousen-9798295900648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
