Overview

This program shows how to integrate AI sustainably into a development team's work. Participants compare models and tools, work on context management, tell vibe coding from agentic development and practice the specify, plan, implement, verify approach on existing and new projects. They then cover team standards, assisted continuous integration and the risks: dependence, security, intellectual property.
