Have you ever wondered how AI can improve the way we code? In this project we will explore coding using Codepal.ai, an AI-driven development assistant. This Guided Project is designed for aspiring software developers keen on integrating AI tools into their coding workflow to enhance efficiency and code quality. In this 4-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to automate code generation, perform language translations, conduct code reviews, and write unit tests using Codepal.ai.
You'll create a multi-featured to-do application by navigating through a realistic development scenario in a tech company. This project stands out because it not only teaches you to code with AI but also it teaches how you can leverage AI for various aspects of software development. To excel in this project, a basic understanding of programming concepts and familiarity with programming is recommended. We will be using JavaScript for our core code. By the end, you'll have an AI-generated, well-documented, and robustly tested to-do application, showcasing the practical application of AI in modern software development. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
