Course Overview

AI Driven Development has fundamentally transformed how we design, write, and maintain applications. It is no longer just about code completion; it's about setting up a fleet of specialised AI agents to support the entire development cycle.

In this hands-on training, you will master the methodology required to integrate GitHub Copilot into your daily workflow, moving from manual implementation to high-level supervision. You'll work through agentic workflows, connect AI to external tools via the Model Context Protocol, and apply spec-driven development to large and legacy codebases.

Learning Objectives

1

Tooling Ecosystem

Understand the landscape of code generation models and the difference between IDE tools and CLI assistants.

2

Custom Agent Mastery

Learn how to create and configure custom agents for both the planning and implementation phases.

3

Legacy Modernization

Understand strategies for refactoring large codebases and bringing legacy systems up to modern standards.

4

External Integration

Master the use of Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI to tools like Figma and PlayWright.
