Summary and Schedule
This is a new lesson built with The Carpentries Workbench.
Before coming to this course please make sure you have:
- Basic computer skills and fundamental coding knowledge (e.g., knowledge of different data types, loading data, writing simple functions)
- Familiarity with a code editor (e.g., VSCode)
- Interest in AI-assisted coding tools
After following this lesson, learners will be able to:
- Generate code and optimize its performance using an AI coding assistant
- Refactor and improve the structure and quality of existing code using an AI coding assistant
- Automate repetitive coding tasks using AI coding assistant
- Generate and improve documentation using AI coding assistant
- Recognize, evaluate, and mitigate ethical and security considerations when using AI coding assistant
| Setup Instructions | Download files required for the lesson | |
| Duration: 00h 00m | 1. Introduction to AI coding assistants |
What are the main AI coding assistants and what are their main
characteristics? How to set up Codeium as coding assistant for the lesson? |
| Duration: 00h 00m | 2. Code generation and optimization | |
| Duration: 00h 00m | 3. Enhancing Coding Efficiency |
How can the autocomplete function in Codeium help improve your coding
speed? What types of repetitive coding tasks can be automated? What are some key components of a clear and effective prompt when using the autocomplete function? In what ways can Codeium assist in generating and improving code documentation? |
| Duration: 00h 40m | Finish |
The actual schedule may vary slightly depending on the topics and exercises chosen by the instructor.
