About the Course

This course is designed to enhance your skills by integrating AI chatbots as pair programmers in your development process. You’ll learn about how large language models (LLMs) work and how this general-purpose technology can be applied to common software development tasks to help boost productivity, creativity, and support you in your tasks as a developer. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Understand the differences between machine learning and traditional software development - Describe how large language models generate text - Prompt an LLM to assist in the tasks that make up the software developer role - Guide an LLM to complete a task in a specific way by writing detailed prompts and iterating to improve output - Leverage the depth of software development knowledge encoded in an LLM by prompting it to assume specific job roles or personas - Write code quickly using an LLM as a pair-coding partner - Analyze code for efficiency, security, and performance using an LLM This course assumes you have a background in software development, but are new to using LLMs as part of your development process. By knowing how machine learning systems work, and having an understanding of how they can be applied in software development, you’ll be able to use them more effectively to support your growth and work as a developer or engineer....

Excellent course. As always, Professor Moroney's classes are very engaging and rich in high-level content. It is frustrating that the LLM sometimes forgets previously given prompts and instructions.

This is an excellent introductory course, as this approach represents "the next generation" of software development, applicable to all of software engineering disciplines and levels using LLM

The class material and lectures are very well done. This actually got me excited about this topic. The lab was painful in that if you screw something up you have to wait 3 or 4 hours before you can try again (it seems to be in a state where all tasks are '*' and never complete). I started the lab on Friday, and finished on Tuesday. But overall, a well done course

The contents themselves are great and well explained. Lawrence is an awesome instructor. This course is way too easy for experienced developers who have already been using LLMs in their day-to-day tasks.

Great course! I'm a bit unsatisfied for the grading assignments that are somewhat obscure: I spent more time in understanding what was requested to do than in doing it.
