Transform Your Development Workflow with GitHub Copilot and Advanced AI Tools Master the future of software engineering through three comprehensive training programs designed for modern development teams.
- Duration: Five half-days of 4 hours each (20 hours total). Note that hours are shown in the Central time zone.
- Delivery: Remote (instructor in California; students distributed, class size 6–20)
- Audience: Software developers who are familiar with GitHub and Copilot novices
Who Should Attend
Software developers, technical leads, and engineering managers ready to leverage AI for accelerated development, legacy system modernization, and greenfield project creation. You should have some experience using ChatGPT, Claude, or a similar LLM, plus some familiarity with GitHub Copilot and software development fundamentals.
What You'll Master
🚀 AI-Assisted Development Fundamentals (1 day) Break into AI-powered coding with GitHub Copilot. Learn enterprise governance, hands-on implementation across different Copilot modes, and software engineering best practices that maintain code quality while dramatically boosting productivity.
🔧 Legacy Code Transformation (2 days) Turn your brownfield nightmares into evergreen assets. Master safe legacy code modification, automated documentation generation, AI-assisted testing, and incremental modernization strategies that reduce technical debt while minimizing risk.
⚡ Greenfield Development Acceleration (2 days) Transform requirements into working software faster than ever. Learn structured AI workflows, instruction files, custom chat modes, and prompt engineering techniques that turn concepts into production-ready code.
Why This Training Matters The AI development era is happening now. Developers using AI tools report 30–50% productivity gains, but only when used correctly. This training teaches you to harness AI as a force multiplier while avoiding common pitfalls that lead to poor code quality and technical debt.
You'll gain:
- Immediate productivity improvements through proper AI tool usage
- Enterprise-ready governance frameworks for team adoption
- Risk management strategies for production environments
- Template libraries and workflows for ongoing success
