What will you learn?

Introduction to Generative AI
Compare and contrast machine learning with traditional software development. Describe the high level details of how large language models generate text.
Pair-coding with an LLM
Prompt an LLM to assist in the tasks that make up the software developer role. Guide an LLM to complete a task in a specific way by writing detailed prompts and iterating to improve output.
Leveraging an LLM for code analysis
Analyze code for efficiency, security, and performance using an LLM. Work with an LLM to iteratively modify and improve existing code.
Testing and Debugging
Leverage an LLM’s ability to analyze and understand code to write and implement test cases for your code. Create functional software tests using the help of an LLM.
Documentation
Use an LLM to create clear, useful documentation for code, and format it so that it can be used by automated documentation generation tools.
Dependency Management
Differentiate between scenarios in which an LLM is or is not a good tool for managing the challenges presented by dependencies.
Data Serialization and Configuration-Driven Development
Use an LLM to suggest architectures and software design paradigms based on descriptions of your task or use case.
Databases
Work with an LLM to implement a database schema based on natural language specifications. Build out CRUD functionality for a database.
Software Design Patterns
Use an LLM to explore and learn about the advantages of design patterns and how to use them. Implement the Gang of Four design patterns in code.
