Share Description
This course is an interactive, text-based program designed to elevate software developers from basic code autocompletion to advanced AI-driven engineering. Focusing on real-world application, this course delves deep into sophisticated prompt engineering, architectural refactoring, automated testing, and CI/CD automation using GitHub Copilot. Learners interact directly with in-browser coding environments, discovering how to manage multi-file context, execute AI-powered code reviews, and automate pull request summaries and shell commands via the Copilot CLI. Additionally, the course addresses enterprise-level concerns by incorporating responsible AI practices, licensing compliance, data privacy guardrails, and strategies for team-wide adoption.
Topics This Course Covers
- Advanced IDE Setup & Ecosystem: Configuring Copilot within modern environments and leveraging Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and agentic workflows.
- Responsible AI & Governance: Implementing public code duplication filters, mitigating bias, handling licensing risks, and safeguarding sensitive project data.
- Task-Driven Prompt Engineering: Applying foundational and progressive prompt engineering strategies for complex feature generation, rapid prototyping, and error resolution.
- Architectural Refactoring & Performance: Utilizing AI guardrails to restructure legacy codebases, optimize performance bottlenecks, and improve code quality.
- Collaboration & CI/CD Automation: Streamlining pull request (PR) authoring, automating workflows with GitHub Actions, and driving productivity in the terminal.
- Enterprise Scaling & Adoption: Managing organization-level policies, establishing security guardrails, and fostering an AI-first engineering culture across squads.
