Introduction (Rob Elsinga)
The landscape of Generative AI is rapidly evolving, and GitHub Copilot stands at the forefront of this revolution. As organizations embrace AI-driven tools, GitHub Copilot has been a game-changer since its ideation in 2020. During this event, we delve into the state of the market, explore the potential of Generative AI, and discuss its future implications.
Session 1: Getting Started with GitHub Copilot (Sebass van Boxel)
GenAI isn't just about lines of code; it's about empowering developers and letting them focus on adding business value, rather than just building more code. During this session, we'll show you what GitHub Copilot can do by integrating it into your developer environment.
Session 2: Success factors for empowering developers (Rob Bos)
Although GitHub Copilot can be a powerful ally, it's not a silver bullet. Success requires more than activating licenses; there is a learning curve and it demands a mindset shift. We'll discuss how to foster a culture of continuous learning, adaptability, and collaboration. From pilot projects to measuring impact, we'll explore options for validating Copilot's effectiveness. Remember, it's not just about the tool; it's about transforming how you work.
