AI Coding Tools for Professional Developers

Unlock the full potential of GitHub Copilot and supercharge your coding workflow! This practical course helps developers use AI-assisted coding in real daily work — from setup in VS Code to building a real project, improving prompts, and configuring Copilot for repeatable workflows. Throughout the course, you’ll explore: GitHub Copilot Fundamentals: Set up Copilot in VS Code and learn core features like code completions, Inline Chat (editor + terminal), Smart Actions, and the Copilot Chat interface. Copilot Basics for Real Use: Understand why Copilot matters, common developer use cases, pricing plans and limitations, and key data privacy basics you should know before using AI at work. Chat Modes + Context: Master Copilot Chat modes — Ask, Edit, and Agent — and learn how to provide the right context so Copilot gives more accurate and useful answers. Real-World Project (Calculator App): Build a modern Calculator App with Copilot end to end: create a development plan, implement the UI, style it, add input limits and number formatting, replace custom logic with a library, write unit tests, and generate documentation. Optimizing Your Workflow: Learn how workspace indexing works, manage ignored files with .gitignore, write effective custom instructions, and use prompt files for repeated tasks and templates. Agent Skills & Custom Agents (Advanced): Understand Agent Skills, explore popular community skills, build your first skill, and use ready-to-use templates. You’ll also get an intro to custom agents and practical templates (as upcoming/optional lessons). By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use GitHub Copilot with confidence: plan features, generate and refactor code, write tests, document your work, and set up reusable AI workflows that save hours every week.

Unlock the full potential of Cursor and supercharge your coding workflow! This practical course helps developers use AI-assisted coding in real daily work — from setup and core features to building a real project, writing better prompts, and creating repeatable AI workflows inside the editor. Throughout the course, you’ll explore: Cursor Fundamentals: Set up Cursor and learn its core features like Agent, Tab, chat, code generation, code editing, and working with your codebase more effectively. Cursor Basics for Real Use: Understand why Cursor matters, common developer use cases, pricing plans and limitations, and key privacy and workflow basics you should know before using AI tools in daily development. Working with Agent and Context: Learn how to work with Cursor Agent, provide the right project context, use @-mentions, and write clearer prompts so Cursor gives more accurate and useful results. Real-World Project (Currency Converter App): Build a modern Currency Converter App with Cursor end to end: create a development plan, implement the UI, style it, add input limits and number formatting, replace custom logic with a library, write unit tests, and generate documentation. Optimizing Your Workflow: Learn how Cursor indexes your project, how to control access with .cursorignore, and how to create reusable instructions with Rules for more consistent AI outputs. Advanced Cursor Features: Explore Skills, Subagents, Hooks, MCP, and Cloud Agents to build more powerful and repeatable development workflows. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use Cursor with confidence: plan features, generate and refactor code, write tests, document your work, and build reusable AI workflows that save hours every week.
