Coding with an AI pair programmer

Speaker: Christopher Harrison, Senior Developer Advocate
Social: You can follow me on LinkedIn

Time: Wednesday 8th November 11:55 AM - 12:25 PM

The explosion of programming languages and frameworks has ironically made development more difficult. Developers need to remember different syntax across different environments, and are finding that a large percentage of code they write is tedious. Acting as an AI pair programmer, GitHub Copilot can help a developer offload those tasks and instead focus on the bigger picture. Let's explore how to get started with GitHub Copilot, its capabilities, and how to make the most out of the tool.
