This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course AI-Powered Software Development: Coding, Testing, and System Design. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
As generative AI rapidly transforms the software development landscape, developers and teams must adapt to new tools and workflows that enhance productivity and code quality. Lifelong programmer Shaun Wassell provides hands-on guidance for effectively integrating AI tools across the entire development lifecycle—from code generation to system architecture and agile project management. Shaun helps you gain practical skills for leveraging AI responsibly and efficiently, without replacing critical human oversight. The course is relevant for software developers looking to boost their personal productivity and teams aiming to modernize their development processes.
See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
