Applied Copilot: Testing, Security, and Performance

GitHub Copilot is meer dan slimme autocompletion—het is een AI-coding assistant die je helpt code te begrijpen, te schrijven en te verbeteren. In deze cursus verken je Copilot in Visual Studio Code: van autocompletievoorstellen tot inline bewerkingen en chatmodi, en ontdek je hoe je elk daarvan effectief inzet voor alles van snelle fixes tot refactoring over meerdere bestanden. Je leert de juiste context te geven met chatvariabelen, deelnemers en stapsgewijs prompten, en je workflow te versnellen met slash-commando’s en slimme acties. Je stuurt Copilots gedrag met aangepaste instructies en modelkeuze, afgestemd op projectstandaarden of teamconventies. Tot slot breng je alles samen door Copilot te gebruiken om testsuites te genereren, beveiligingslekken te vinden en prestaties te optimaliseren. Aan het eind kun je Copilot inzetten als krachtige codepartner—voor meer productiviteit, minder fouten en code die niet alleen sneller, maar ook beter is.

Beheers GitHub Copilot om code te begrijpen, schrijven en verfijnen met context en slimme functies.
