An exciting workshop organized by Hackerspace Mumbai at the Microsoft Office in BKC, Mumbai, India. The event was designed to help developers enhance their coding skills using Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot
The registration went smoothly, and I received a confirmation email with all the event details. The venue was well-chosen, providing a comfortable and conducive environment for learning.
The workshop kicked off with an introduction to Visual Studio Code, highlighting its features and extensions that can significantly improve coding efficiency. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided hands-on demonstrations of how to use GitHub Copilot effectively.
The early part of the workshop was for beginners and just getting up to speed with VSCode and Copilot. The latter half was the interesting part where we explored advanced features like Worktrees, Agent mode, and chat modes. The instructors also introduced us to GitHub Spark, Copilot for code review, and pull requests, which were particularly useful for collaborative projects.
Overall, a great experience that provided valuable insights into using VSCode and GitHub Copilot to enhance productivity. Definitely looking forward to applying these new skills in my projects (especially hackathons! 👀).
