Practical AI Tools for Java Developers
This talk will be tailored to Java developers as we delve into the practical applications of AI tools to ease your software development tasks. We'll explore the capabilities of GitHub Copilot used as a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and VSCode. We'll also play with GPT4 and examine ways it can help.
It's often said that AI tools will not replace existing developers, but that a developer with those tools will have an advantage over developers without them. Join us as we try to demystify the world of AI for Java developers, equipping you with practical skills to incorporate these tools into your development workflow. Note that this is a rapidly changing field, and the talk will evolve to work with the latest features available.
