Course Overview
AI-Assisted Programming with Copilot: Master the Future of Software DevelopmentIn an era where efficiency defines success, mastering AI-driven development is no longer optional. This course provides a comprehensive roadmap to integrating GitHub Copilot into your daily workflow, transforming you from a manual coder into an elite AI-assisted developer. By leveraging the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) directly within VS Code, you will learn to accelerate your production cycles and eliminate the friction of repetitive syntax.
This training moves beyond simple code completion. You will dive deep into advanced prompt engineering, learning how to guide Copilot with specific context to generate robust Python and JavaScript applications. From crafting responsive CSS layouts to generating complex SQL schemas and implementing Test-Driven Development (TDD), this course ensures you remain at the cutting edge of the tech industry. Whether you are refactoring legacy code or architecting new systems, you will gain the skills to produce high-quality, secure, and well-documented software at unprecedented speeds.
You will learn:- Master prompt engineering techniques to generate precise Python and JavaScript code.
- Integrate GitHub Copilot within VS Code to automate repetitive coding tasks and refactoring.
- Build responsive web designs using AI-generated HTML and CSS.
- Implement robust unit testing and Test-Driven Development (TDD) with pytest and Jest.
- Utilize AI to analyze existing codebases, find security vulnerabilities, and generate professional documentation.
