Learn how you can use Artificial Intelligence to boost your productivity
AI holds tremendous potential and moves ahead at breakneck speed. One of the areas in which it shines is helping you increase your productivity as a developer straight from within Visual Studio. In this course, you’ll learn how to do that using GitHub Copilot by learning what it is and how to interact with it. You’ll also learn how to engineer your prompts so that they offer better results, and you’ll learn how to let Copilot help you in your day-to-day life as a developer - from writing code to documenting it, from debugging code to refactoring it and everything in between. The general knowledge and understanding gained through this course are evergreen and can be adapted to any similar AI technology.
