About this Course

In this project-based course, you\'ll step into the role of a developer using Cody, an AI-enhanced coding assistant, to refine and advance an open-source software project. You\'ll get hands-on with Cody\'s core capabilities such as Autocomplete, Chat, and Commands to improve code quality and efficiency. You will begin by establishing a solid coding environment with VS Code and Cody, progressing to solve real-world software development problems like you would in a real project development workflow. Throughout this project you will immediately immerse yourself into a large and complex codebase, quickly gaining an understanding of what it does, and will have significantly enhanced the codebase with your contributions using Cody. This project is tailored for aspiring developers who are eager to see how AI can bridge gaps in their coding workflow, and thus, a basic understanding of programming and familiarity with JavaScript is recommended. By the end, you will have a deeper insight into AI\'s role in modern software development and be better equipped to tackle complex coding challenges.
