GitHub Copilot: from zero to hero
A practical course that takes you from your first Copilot suggestion to running AI-assisted engineering across a team. It focuses on real engineering workflows rather than feature lists: how Copilot works, how to steer it, how to validate what it produces, and how to scale it with instructions, agents, MCP and specs.
Level 0
