Generative AI for Software Development: Modern Coding Workflows

Is your development workflow keeping up with the rapid pace of modern technology? Integrating generative AI into your coding process is no longer just an advantage—it is becoming a standard industry practice for productive software engineers. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of generative artificial intelligence and demonstrates how to apply these tools to your daily programming tasks. You will transition from manual, repetitive coding to a highly efficient, AI-assisted development workflow that enhances your productivity without sacrificing code quality. What you'll learn: Understand the core concepts of Large Language Models and how they interpret programming languages; Craft precise prompts to generate functional, clean, and well-structured code snippets; Leverage AI tools to refactor legacy code, improve readability, and implement modern design patterns; Automate the creation of comprehensive unit tests and identify edge cases using AI assistants; Debug complex software errors and interpret stack traces with intelligent diagnostic prompts; Evaluate the security, licensing, and privacy considerations of AI-generated code. We begin by establishing a solid understanding of how generative AI models work under the hood and the ethical guidelines you must follow. From there, you will progress through practical, text-based scenarios covering code generation, debugging, test automation, and code optimization. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate software developers, computer science students, and tech professionals looking to modernize their coding toolkit. No prior experience with artificial intelligence is required; basic familiarity with at least one programming language is recommended.
