Tom Phillips – GitHub Copilot Beginner to Pro – AI for Coding & Development (Download)

What You’ll Master

Core GitHub Copilot Features
Understand inline suggestions and next-edit predictions that anticipate your coding patterns. Master GitHub Copilot Chat for conversational code generation, explore different agent modes including Plan, Agent, Ask, and Edit modes, and learn to create custom agents tailored to your workflow.

Advanced AI Coding Techniques
Generate unit tests automatically to ensure code reliability. Create comprehensive documentation without manual effort. Implement custom slash commands and prompts that align with your development style. Work with agent instructions to guide AI behavior for consistent, project-specific code generation.

Agent Orchestration
Coordinate local agents, cloud agents, and background agents for complex workflows. Use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) within GitHub Copilot Chat to manage sophisticated development tasks. Orchestrate agents from the GitHub mobile app for coding on the go.

Full-Stack Development with AI
Build a practical web application called “Bucks2Bar” using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS—generated entirely through Copilot. Develop a complete Next.js full-stack application handling frontend code, backend logic, authentication, validation, and database interactions with AI assistance.

Security and Best Practices
Generate secure code that follows industry standards. Identify and fix vulnerabilities using Copilot’s security scanning capabilities. Learn efficient prompting techniques that extract maximum value from AI assistance while maintaining code quality.

Professional AI Integration
Handle real-world scenarios through role-play exercises including explaining AI usage to non-developers, onboarding new team members with Copilot, and discussing AI in job interviews. Use AI responsibly while maintaining your value as a developer.

Hands-On Projects

Work through two complete applications built with GitHub Copilot. Start with Bucks2Bar for expense tracking and visualization, then advance to a sophisticated Next.js application with database integration, demonstrating how AI handles everything from simple features to complex full-stack architecture.

Who Should Enroll

Perfect for web developers at any level seeking to multiply their productivity, teams adopting AI-assisted development workflows, and programmers wanting to stay competitive as AI reshapes software development. Whether you’re managing legacy code or building greenfield projects, Copilot skills are increasingly essential.

AI assistance isn’t replacing developers—it’s empowering them to focus on architecture, problem-solving, and innovation while automating repetitive tasks. Learn to work with AI, not against it.
