About the Course

This course is designed to enhance your skills by integrating AI chatbots as pair programmers in your development process. You’ll learn about how large language models (LLMs) work and how this general-purpose technology can be applied to common software development tasks to help boost productivity, creativity, and support you in your tasks as a developer. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Understand the differences between machine learning and traditional software development - Describe how large language models generate text - Prompt an LLM to assist in the tasks that make up the software developer role - Guide an LLM to complete a task in a specific way by writing detailed prompts and iterating to improve output - Leverage the depth of software development knowledge encoded in an LLM by prompting it to assume specific job roles or personas - Write code quickly using an LLM as a pair-coding partner - Analyze code for efficiency, security, and performance using an LLM This course assumes you have a background in software development, but are new to using LLMs as part of your development process. By knowing how machine learning systems work, and having an understanding of how they can be applied in software development, you’ll be able to use them more effectively to support your growth and work as a developer or engineer....

Excellent course. As always, Professor Moroney's classes are very engaging and rich in high-level content. It is frustrating that the LLM sometimes forgets previously given prompts and instructions.

The course is really insightful, though missess technical nuances, like having purpose built LLMs

Too basic

Be aware everyone! this course is not really teaching you about utilizing LLM to optimize your software development process. Instead, Mr. Moroney is showing off his experience and knowledge about data structure and algorithm and challenge you into some overly detailed problems that you expect to be simplified by using LLM in the first place. He taught students to be skeptical about code produced by LLM however, he don't focus on optimizing the prompt we should use instead, he asked students to use their own knowledge to assess the code produce by the LLM which could be daunting if you don't have enough experience with the programming concepts being use in this course. This course might be good for those experienced data scientist or database development specialist but for software developer in general, this course is too data oriented and lack of prompt optimization knowledge being taught. Overall, I don't find this course is useful and I regret taking it.

This course was absolutely not worth the money. It has completely changed my perception of taking courses on Coursera. Spending upwards of INR 10000 on this was one of the worst decisions I've made.
