# Financial Dashboard (Self-Paced) Canonical URL: ## Overview A project-based, self-paced course where you build one real application from an empty folder to a deployed product: a financial cockpit a business owner could actually trust. You will build income and expense tracking by category, revenue growth over time, profitability margins, and the basics of bookkeeping, all computed in JavaScript and never invented by the model. Claude writes the "what changed and why," a monthly summary, and anomaly flags, with every word grounded in the real figures your app calculated. You will also build an Ask-Your-Data copilot: load a CSV, ask a question in plain English, and Claude picks the chart while your code does the math. By the final module you deploy the finished dashboard to a live URL. Over roughly 30 hours you put your coding skills together to ship something real, because the numbers come from your code, not a guess. ## What you'll learn - Turn a bookkeeping workflow into a data model (accounts, transactions, statements, reports) and a working database schema - Build the basics of bookkeeping in code: a chart of accounts, categorizing transactions, and reconciling against statements - Compute financial stats, revenue growth over time, and profitability margins in JavaScript, never letting the model invent a number - Build charts, KPI cards, anomaly flags, and an exportable report from values your code calculated - Call the Claude API from your own server-side code to write commentary, a monthly summary, and anomaly explanations grounded in the real figures - Build an Ask-Your-Data copilot: load a CSV, ask in plain English, and have Claude choose the chart while your code does the math - Keep your Claude API key server-side, handle AI failures gracefully, and persist data to a hosted database - Deploy the finished dashboard to a live URL with production secrets and a pre-launch checklist ## Prerequisites Students should have knowledge equivalent to our [AI Coding Bootcamp with Claude Code](https://www.nobledesktop.com/classes/ai-coding-bootcamp-with-claude-code). ## Pricing **Tuition:** $1495
