Description:

AI capabilities are advancing exponentially, and generative AI is the new frontier of artificial intelligence. In this frontier is emerging generative AI tools that are focused on helping developers to supercharge their productivity. Like all new tools, you need to understand how they work in order to optimise what you can get out of them. This workshop will get into the weeds about how developers can explore the potential of AI coding companion tools. We will see how far we can get to build a sample application, getting hands on with these tools and show you the art of the possible. We will cover:

• Overview of generative AI developer tooling and how developers can use them effectively
• Installation and setup of tooling
• Creating our first web application, including how we can use the tool to help us troubleshoot and fix problems effectively
• Adding documentation to our project Packaging and running our application

Prerequisites:
