Hi and welcome to this course.
My name is Maximilian SchwarzmÃ¼ller
and I will be your instructor in this
course where I will teach you how to
efficiently use AI tools like GitHub
Copilot and the Cursor IDE as a
developer.
Because of course AI is here, it's here to
stay and as a developer it's another
powerful tool in your tool belt which you
can and should use.
But of course in order to use it, you must
know how to use it and whilst getting
started with it is simple, it's also kind of
simple to use all these AI tools
inefficiently, to rely too much on them or
to simply not know about certain
features that would exist that you're
maybe not using.
And that's the purpose of this course.
I'll walk you through the most important
features offered by GitHub Copilot and
Cursor, I'll show you how you could
sometimes also use ChatGPT in addition
to these tools and we'll build a complete
demo project with these tools after
learning about their essentials so that by
the end of this course you'll be able to
use these tools as a developer efficiently
too.
And that's also important, this is not a
no-code course, this is not a course for
people who don't know how to write
code because whilst AI can help you
there as well, in my experience it's not
fully there yet and it might never be.
Instead, at this point in time, in my
experience, the most powerful AI use
case is to use it in conjunction with your
existing development knowledge
because it can make you more efficient
and that's what this course is about.
not waste any time, let's dive right in and
let's get started with this course.
