We build 2 projects in this course. The first project is a real-world practical project called "Bucks2Bar", a simple web application using html, javascript, and css, that allows users to input income and expenses for each month of the year, plot it to a bar chart, then download that chart as an image. The majority of this project code will be generated using GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot chat and will allow us to cover a wide range of Github Copilot features.

The second project will move onto more advanced concepts, where we build a full stack Next JS application. We take a look at how to manage GitHub Copilot Chat across all levels of a development stack, from front end code, to back end code, as well as handling authentication, validation, and database interactions. As we delve into the journey of building these projects with GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot chat, we take a look at many different features such as, various ways to provide context to GitHub Copilot Chat, various ways to initialize a new chat, generating unit tests and commit messages with GitHub Copilot, using the GitHub Copilot Chat feature in the GitHub mobile app, refactoring code, detecting security concerns, tips and tricks + more!

All of this code will be generated using GitHub Copilot Chat AI and not a single line of code is typed manually in this course!

This course will guide you through each step of the process, providing practical examples and real-world scenarios to help you master this powerful coding tool. By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and confidence to use GitHub Copilot to improve your coding productivity and take your coding skills to the next level.
