Why attend?
Most developers have experimented with AI coding tools. The challenge isn’t getting started. It’s learning how to use them effectively in real projects.
How do you provide the right context? Review generated code? Build repeatable workflows? Know when to trust the output and when to challenge it?
This workshop focuses on practical methods and workflows that help developers work more effectively with AI while maintaining code quality, engineering discipline, and control.
You’ll learn how to:
- Build repeatable AI-assisted development workflows
- Create better context for higher-quality AI output
- Review, refine, and validate generated code
- Apply these techniques across modern AI coding tools
AI coding tools will continue to evolve. The goal of this workshop is to help you develop practical workflows and engineering practices you can apply immediately, regardless of whether you’re using Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Theia AI, or whatever comes next.
Tool-aware, not tool-dependent
Learn approaches that apply across Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, and other modern AI coding tools.
Designed for developers
Practical workflows built around real software development challenges, not AI feature demos.
Built around real development work
Learn how to manage context, review generated code, and build repeatable workflows.
Interactive by design
Limited attendance to encourage discussion, questions, and shared learning.
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for software developers, technical leads, and engineering teams who want a more structured approach to AI-assisted development.
It is suitable for developers who are new to AI coding tools as well as those already using them and looking for more reliable workflows.
What you'll leave with
- Practical AI-assisted development techniques
- Reusable workflows for prompting, review, and iteration
- A clearer understanding of how to use AI coding tools responsibly
- Access to post-workshop learning materials
Certification & recognition
Participants will receive a digital completion badge via Credly and access to post-workshop learning materials.
The interactive workshop experience
Go beyond prompting and learn reliable ways of working with modern AI coding tools.
Dr. Jonas Helming
Lead Instructor
CEO of EclipseSource and a long-time leader in open source developer tooling and AI-assisted software development.
Jonas leads several open source projects including Eclipse Theia and is a frequent speaker on modern software engineering practices, developer tooling, and AI-assisted development.
Designed for developers
A learning experience for developers who want to use modern AI coding tools effectively without sacrificing code quality, maintainability, or control.
Bring your laptop
This workshop is built around guided exercises, live coding, practical workflows, and real-world engineering scenarios, not passive demos or lectures.
