Agentic Coding with GitHub Copilot
Date: 21 May 2026 @ 09:00 - 17:00
Language of instruction: English
Are you ready to go beyond simple chat-based coding and unlock the power of structured, agentic workflows? In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to move beyond chat-based coding and design structured, agentic coding workflows. Using GitHub Copilot, you will learn to write effective prompts, leverage LLMs for multi-file coding tasks, and design workflows that plan, act, and iterate safely. You’ll also explore how to evaluate agent outputs, implement guardrails, and address important risks and governance issues. By the end of the training, you'll be able to use LLMs for structured coding tasks, design robust agentic workflows, and enhance productivity in your own projects.
