Agentic Software Engineering - Joy Heron, Torben Keller - Deutsch
Generative AI is changing how we develop software - from individual code snippets to complete, agent-driven development processes. In this three-day training course, you will learn how to harness this transformation for your team.
You will learn how to use AI assistants and autonomous coding agents in a targeted manner: From intelligent requirements analysis and automated architecture design to autonomous development agents that implement complex features. You will always remain in control and understand where human expertise is indispensable.
After the training, you will be able to assess which AI tools and approaches are suitable for your specific challenges. You will know how to gradually move from simple code completion to advanced agent-based workflows.
