Description

AI-assisted development is no longer a novelty. it’s becoming a core skill for modern developers. GitHub Copilot can dramatically accelerate how you write, review, and refactor code, but only if you know how to use it well. This hands-on course goes beyond autocomplete and demos. You’ll learn how to use GitHub Copilot as a true AI pair programmer, one that understands context, follows your intent, and helps you write cleaner, more secure, production-ready code. Through real-world examples and guided exercises, you’ll explore Copilot’s capabilities, Agent Mode, and advanced prompting techniques, while learning practical guardrails for security and maintainability. By the end, you’ll know how to work faster without sacrificing code quality and how to confidently use Copilot in real projects.
