Generative AI tools that can generate code suggestions, such as Amazon CodeWhisperer, are growing rapidly in popularity. Join this chalk talk to learn how Amazon CodeWhisperer can accelerate and enhance your software development with code generation, reference tracking, security scans, and more. Learn best practices for prompt engineering, and get tips and tricks that can help you be more productive when building applications.

Traditionally, building applications requires developers to spend a lot of time manually writing code and trying to learn and keep up with new frameworks, SDKs, and libraries. In the last three years, AI models have grown exponentially in complexity and sophistication, enabling the creation of tools like Amazon CodeWhisperer that can generate code suggestions in real time based on a natural language description of the task. Join this session to learn how Amazon CodeWhisperer can accelerate and enhance your software development with code generation, reference tracking, security scans, and more.

Developing software can be difficult and expensive. Throughout the software development lifecycle, developers need a way to easily identify and troubleshoot errors or defects in their code. In parallel, as the cost of detecting and fixing defects in software increases with time, software development managers need a unified console to triage software issues before they reach a production environment. This chalk talk outlines how developers can use Amazon CodeCatalyst to create a test plan for unit tests and code coverage and use dependency checks to help ensure code releases without vulnerabilities.

Software developers spend a significant amount of time orchestrating tools, technologies, processes, and people to build and deliver modern applications. Amazon CodeCatalyst brings together everything software development teams need to plan, code, build, test, and deploy applications into a streamlined, integrated experience. In this session we will show you how to build .Net and PowerShell projects in a CodeCatalyst cloud Dev Environment. We will then create a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline to deploy the project to AWS Lambda.
