Course Overview
This one day, instructor led course in Washington, DC Metro, Tysons Corner, VA, Columbia, MD or Live Online, teaches programmers how to use GitHub Copilot’s Generative AI capabilities to produce code they would have to write themselves. After taking this class, participants supercharge their coding workflow and write more confidently, using Copilot as a programming partner. GitHub Copilot is powered by OpenAI’s language model, which has been trained on a massive dataset of public code repositories. It helps developers write code by suggesting lines and entire functions. This course prepares students to tackle coding challenges and streamline their development process. At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explore LLMs (Large Language Models) and their impact on coding
- Utilize GitHub Copilot for efficient coding, from basics to advanced features
- Learn prompt engineering to optimize AI code generation
- Master prompting techniques for code completion, debugging, and large codebases
- Leverage Copilot’s versatility for diverse programming tasks
- Integrate Copilot into your development process for cleaner, more efficient code
- Explore Copilot Chat for interactive coding and problem-solving
