Course Outline

Deciphering Code with LLMs

  • Advanced prompting techniques for code explanation and logical walkthroughs.
  • Navigating and understanding unfamiliar codebases and project structures.
  • In-depth analysis of control flow, dependencies, and system architecture.

Refactoring for Long-Term Maintainability

  • Spotting code smells, obsolete code, and structural anti-patterns.
  • Reorganizing functions and modules to enhance clarity and structure.
  • Utilizing LLMs to propose superior naming conventions and design enhancements.

Enhancing Performance and Reliability

  • Identifying performance bottlenecks and security vulnerabilities with AI support.
