Elevator Pitch
Coding assistants are already changing the way we develop code, and in several years they are expected to completely change how developers interact with code and write it. In this workshop, I’ll share tips and best practices on using such tools as we develop the production-ready app with Zencoder
Description
AI Agents are the next big thing everyone is talking about. They are expected to revolutionize various industries by automating routine tasks, mission critical business workflows, enhancing productivity, and enabling humans to focus on creative and strategic work. Of course, you can apply them to your everyday coding tasks as well. But just like with any other AI or non-AI-based tool, you need to understand how to use it correctly in order to maximize your benefits.
In this workshop, you’ll get to experience AI coding agents first-hand as we collaborate with them in real time to build a production-ready app from scratch. For that, we will use Zencoder, an AI coding agent platform that empowers developers to ship products faster. We will be building the app in Python (it is a Python conference, after all :) ), and ideally, you already have some programming experience in Python to get the most out of the session. You will also need to bring your laptop with either VSCode or JetBrains (PyCharm) installed.
Notes
Hi! A bit about myself - I’m Head of ML/DevOps at Zencoder, have been working in ML for about ten years now. At Zencoder we develop the next generation of coding assistants, so I’m well versed in the topic of GenAI in general and its applications to coding in particular. In addition, I’ve been a speaker (including keynote speaker) on multiple international conferences and have received a lot of high appraisals from attendees both when talking with them in person post-talk and through Linkedin. For the workshop, as noted in the description, the participants will need to bring their own laptop to follow along (but, of course, they can just watch, I guess :) )
