Changing code manually is tiring and time-consuming, but modernizing applications is essential maintenance for successful software. Generative AI can help accelerate the process by making your code more efficient and easier to maintain and change—ensuring that your applications support the latest features.
Our panel of experts shows you how to use generative AI to benefit your codebase. You’ll learn how to incorporate AI tools into your workflow to enhance common development processes, from measuring the quality of your code to refactoring it to measuring it again to prove that it’s not only more elegant but also more cost-effective.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- Use generative AI tools to modernize your legacy systems
- Identify patterns in LLM outputs to ensure effective and efficient refactoring
- Apply an AI development lifecycle to existing systems
Recommended follow-up:
- Read Generative AI for Software Development (early release book)
- Read AI Engineering (book)
