Generative AI Bootcamp for Developers

This immersive bootcamp equips software engineers, platform engineers, QA, DevOps, and data teams with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively integrate Generative AI into modern software development workflows.

Participants will learn how large language models (LLMs) work, how to apply prompt engineering and AI-assisted development using tools such as GitHub Copilot and enterprise LLM platforms, and how to operationalize AI across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The course emphasizes hands-on labs, real-world coding scenarios, and enterprise guardrails, enabling developers to accelerate delivery while maintaining security, compliance, and code quality.

By the end of the bootcamp, participants will be able to leverage AI to improve productivity, automate development tasks, enhance testing, and build AI-powered applications using modern architectures such as RAG and agent-based workflows.
