AI Coding Essentials
Discover how to leverage AI tools to enhance coding efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, and unlock innovative development workflows in this hands-on session.
What you will learn in this course
Agenda
AI in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): Explore the evolution of software development methodologies, the importance of testing, AI fundamentals and the role of AI in SDLC, and refresh your understanding of the EU AI Act.
AI Tools & Ecosystem: Understand different Levels of AI assistance in coding tasks. Discover a plethora of AI tools for coding, testing, project automation as well as agentic development. (Tools: Ollama, Open Source LLMs, Codeium, Continue+Ollama, RooCoder, OpenRouter, Groq, Aider, Windsurf, GitSage, Sourcery, Sweep, OpenHands and more)
Specification Centric Development: Learn how specification-driven development accelerates coding workflows. We'll also look at AI assisted BDD (Behavior Driven Development) (Tools: Behave, Gherkin, Deepseek, OpenRouter, Aider)
AI-Coding Input Design: Understand effective input design and Context Layering methods for AI coding assistance. Discover prompting techniques and further ways to bring your own LLM through RAG and Fine Tuning.
AI-Coding Implications: Examine challenges, ethical concerns, and professional impacts of AI in software development and how to overcome them. We'll also look at future trends of AI coding.
Hands-On Labs: Practical exercises with AI tools for coding and more.
