In this workshop, we shall utilize generative AI, both in terms of replacing coders in doing repetitive work, as well as in planning and designing the entire features. The future of software development starts here. If you do not expect AI to do the software development, but still want to learn how to leverage its power to improve and speed up your daily work, then you are welcome to join.
In this workshop, we shall be designing a Web application using the following technologies: ASP.NET Core with Razor pages, Dapper, and SQL Server.
In the mix of hands-on and demonstrative that follows, we shall tackle the most practical aspects of software development:
- The basics of generating code with AI
- Automating the generation of CRUD operations
- Creating SQL statements from natural language
- Generating tests with AI
- Solving algorithmic problems
- Feature planning
- Security considerations
