Bagus untuk pemula, tapi agak singkat.

The course covers the basics of working with Copilot well, from writing effective comments to reviewing generated code before accepting it. I liked that it emphasized checking suggestions rather than blindly trusting them. It could have used one more module on debugging AI-generated code, but overall it gave me a solid workflow.

As someone who'd never used an AI coding assistant before, this gave me a solid foundation for working with Copilot in real projects. The lessons on writing comments that lead to better suggestions were especially useful. My only gripe is that a couple of the later exercises assume you already know your way around the editor shortcuts.

Guter Einstieg in Copilot für Anfänger, die Code-Vorschläge nutze ich jetzt täglich; der Teil zum Verfeinern hätte länger sein dürfen.

Como desarrollador novato, Copilot dejó de ser un misterio y ahora genero fragmentos fiables y termino tareas mucho más rápido.

El curso explica bien cómo aprovechar las sugerencias del asistente sin depender ciegamente de ellas, algo que no esperaba encontrar. Los ejercicios prácticos ayudan a entender cuándo aceptar, modificar o descartar una sugerencia. Me hubiera gustado un poco más de contenido sobre proyectos más grandes, pero como introducción cumple muy bien.

Ero abbastanza scettico riguardo all'uso di assistenti AI per programmare, pensavo generassero solo codice da copiare senza capire davvero cosa facesse. Questo corso ha cambiato la mia prospettiva, mostrando come impostare bene i commenti e le richieste per ottenere suggerimenti realmente utili. Mi è piaciuto molto il modo in cui viene spiegato quando fidarsi di un suggerimento e quando invece è meglio riscriverlo da zero. Gli esercizi sono ben calibrati per chi si avvicina per la prima volta a questi strumenti, senza risultare né troppo semplici né scoraggianti. L'unico aspetto che migliorerei è la sezione finale, che sembra un po' affrettata rispetto al resto del corso. Nel complesso però è un ottimo punto di partenza per chi sviluppa applicazioni ed è alle prime armi con questi assistenti.

これまでCopilotを何となく使っていただけでしたが、このコースを受けてようやく仕組みを理解できました。最初はコメントの書き方から始まり、そこから関数全体を生成させる方法へと段階的に進んでいく構成がとても分かりやすかったです。特に印象に残ったのは、提案されたコードをそのまま受け入れるのではなく、どう見直して修正するかを丁寧に解説している点でした。実際の開発作業を想定した演習が多く、学んだことをすぐ実務に活かせたのも良かったです。説明のテンポも初心者にちょうど良く、無理なく最後まで進められました。アプリ開発を始めたばかりの人には特におすすめできる内容です。

Justo lo que necesitaba para empezar.

Nunca había usado un asistente de codificación con IA y este curso me ayudó a perder el miedo a integrarlo en mi flujo de trabajo diario. Empieza desde lo más básico, como escribir comentarios que generen sugerencias útiles, y va avanzando hacia tareas más completas como generar funciones enteras a partir de una descripción. Lo que más me gustó es que no solo muestra cómo aceptar las sugerencias, sino también cuándo conviene rechazarlas y reescribir el prompt. Las lecciones son cortas pero cada una deja algo aplicable de inmediato. Terminé escribiendo código de forma notablemente más rápida sin perder el control de lo que estaba generando. Para alguien que recién empieza en desarrollo de aplicaciones, es un punto de partida excelente.
