Hands-on modules using Copilot's agent mode to consolidate duplicate logic, refactor large functions, simplify conditionals, implement code improvements, and remediate GitHub issues and secret scanning alerts. For developers with a year or more of experience who want practice using a coding agent on real maintenance and security work.
Aspiring builders, career switchers and working developers. This is an intermediate course in Coding with AI, running about 6 modules, ~8 hours.
Free. Free on Microsoft Learn; the exercises require an active GitHub Copilot subscription and use C# in Visual Studio Code. Price seen 2026-11-01.
JetBrains' Paul Everitt shows how to evaluate an AI coding setup (the agent, the model, where it runs and how work is split) and rebuilds the same Python app in cloud, hybrid and fully local workflows. For developers weighing cost, privacy and capability trade-offs between hosted and local coding agents.
A free community course on building and shipping software with AI coding agents: spec-driven workflows with AGENTS.md, an AI-assisted full-stack app, testing and containerized deployment, observability, and agent building blocks like SKILL.md skills, subagents and parallel Git worktrees. It suits working developers who want an engineering-grade, project-based alternative to vibe-coding tutorials, with an optional cohort for accountability.
A feature-by-feature tour of Claude Code covering the agent loop, sessions, permission modes, sandboxing, hooks, headless runs, IDE and GitHub Actions integrations, CLAUDE.md memory, agent skills, MCP and multi-agent sub-agents. It suits developers who already use Claude Code casually and want one complete, structured reference instead of scattered short clips.
