AI is reshaping how developers and low-code builders work, from generating complex functions in seconds to redesigning legacy codebases with minimal risk. This course teaches you to harness that capability across the full development lifecycle.

You will learn to use AI code assistants like GitHub Copilot to produce production-ready functions, unit tests, and documentation, guided by advanced prompting techniques that give you precise control over output quality. On the low-code side, you will apply natural language prompts within the Microsoft Power Platform to rapidly design professional UIs and map complex data models, accelerating app delivery without sacrificing structure.

You will also develop the critical skills to validate what AI produces, reviewing generated code against security, performance, and compliance requirements, and safely modernising legacy components through AI-assisted refactoring and language translation.

Syllabus

  • Generate complex functions, unit tests, and comprehensive documentation using AI code assistants, significantly boosting development speed.
  • Employ advanced prompting strategies (e.g., using context, constraints, and examples) to guide AI assistants to produce high-quality, production-ready code.
  • Design professional user interfaces (UIs) and map complex data structures rapidly using natural language prompts within the Microsoft Power Platform.
  • Refactor and modernize existing code by using AI assistance to safely update legacy components or translate code between programming languages.
  • Implement strategies for verifying and validating AI-generated code to ensure it meets required security, performance, and compliance standards.
