Software Craftsmanship with Generative AI - Hands-On training for TypeScript or Java+Spring Boot Developers

Expert workshop is something more than a training. Workshop is focused on client's project.

Code: ai-ai
Category: AI
Format: 20% lecture / 80% workshop
Duration: 3 days
Target audience: developers
architects
Enrollment: Groups, companies
Venue: Client's office.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for generating code—it’s becoming a true partner in a developer’s workflow.

In this 3-day hands-on training, you’ll learn how to effectively leverage Generative AI in the spirit of Software Craftsmanship, with a strong focus on backend development using Java and Spring Boot.

Through a series of practical exercises, live coding sessions, and real-world use cases, you will:

  • Learn how to collaborate with AI to write clean, maintainable, and well-architected code
  • Apply Test Driven Development (TDD) and the Red-Green-Refactor cycle with AI assistance
  • Explore how AI can support test creation, refactoring, and design decisions
  • Understand how to maximize productivity while maintaining full control over your codebase
  • Identify common pitfalls of AI-assisted development and learn how to avoid them

It's all about the content.

  • Domain-Driven Design (DDD): helps structure the domain model in a way that AI can understand and reason about, making interactions with AI more context-aware and meaningful
  • Ports and Adapters (Hexagonal Architecture): promotes a clean separation of concerns, enabling AI to safely assist with isolated components without risking tight coupling
  • Modularization: provides clear boundaries and responsibilities in the codebase, allowing AI to generate or refactor code within well-defined contexts
  • Microservices Architecture: enables distributed development and targeted AI assistance on a per-service basis, supporting independent evolution and deployment
