Requirements

At least some previous development experience would be good

Description

Welcome to my new course about Github Co-pilot for project development!This course is targeting one main concept important for real life usage of Co-pilot - project development.We will use a sample app and go through most stages of software project development with main focus on Development itself.Main app would be covering up an area of equity management with 4 core methods to write:Capitalisation of the companyInitial shares release of the companyShares split of the company sharesShares purchase by shareholders.App would be simplified for this course to not overcomplicate the implementation as the main goal of this course is to teach how to use Co-pilot for software development, NOT build a fully-pledged equity management app.NOTE: I am not an expert in equity management, just curious self-learner.Main areas to cover are:How to generate an idea for your next project (using basic ChatGPT 3.5)How to create a Backend project for your ideaHow to use Co-pilot to help boost your development productivityHow to use Co-pilot to fix issues and explain code chunksHow to write tests using Co-pilot.How to create very simple Frontend app using Co-pilot to hook it up with Backend projectWhat this course is NOT targeting:All potential use cases of Co-pilotEvery functionality Co-pilot hasSoftware development best practicesThere are some optional lessons targeting basic ChatGPT usage for project idea generation and enhancement the features set of an existing project.
