AI-Assisted Code Refactoring: Modernize Code with LLMs

Dealing with messy or outdated code can be overwhelming, especially when you are just starting out. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed how developers approach legacy systems, making code modernization accessible to everyone. This course teaches you how to use modern LLM assistants to analyze, refactor, and migrate existing code. You will learn foundational AI concepts before moving on to practical techniques for writing effective prompts, managing context, and safely applying AI-generated improvements to your software projects. What you will learn: • Understand fundamental concepts of AI coding assistants and large language models. • Learn effective prompt engineering techniques specifically for code analysis and generation. • Apply AI tools to identify bugs, code smells, and security vulnerabilities in existing code. • Practice refactoring outdated functions into clean, modern, and readable structures. • Master context management to help AI understand your entire project architecture. • Establish a safe workflow for reviewing and testing AI-generated code modifications. The journey begins with essential terminology and the basics of how AI models process code. From there, you will work through structured written examples that demonstrate how to systematically upgrade legacy scripts into modern standards. Designed completely for beginners, this course requires no prior advanced development or AI experience.
