BatEl will share insights, best practices, and real-world examples to help you leverage the full potential of this groundbreaking AI tool.

17:35-18:00 - Developer Flow and AI - Rory Preddy – Principal Cloud Advocate, Microsoft

*AI might soon handle 80% of coding. With 1 million developers using AI to code faster, we ask: What's next for developers? There's concern, but at Microsoft, we're optimistic. I'll share our research on how to stay in the 'Flow' – a focused coding state. We'll look at how AI, easy access, and coding come together. We don't see AI as a replacement, but as a helpful tool to boost creativity and improve work.

In a session rich with live demonstrations, explore innovative strategies designed to enhance your developer workflow, utilizing tools such as Azure OpenAI, the Azure Developer CLI, and GitHub Copilot. Rory will unveil insights from Microsoft’s extensive research on maintaining the 'Flow' - a state of concentrated and focused coding.*

Join us for an insightful exploration of AI's role in transforming development workflows and enhancing the developer experience. From GitHub Copilot mastery to maintaining the 'Flow' with AI, this session offers valuable insights and strategies for developers looking to harness the power of AI in their work. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and unlock new possibilities in your development journey. See you there!
