See all- Beyond Vibe Coding: Agentic Software DevelopmentNewman University, Wichita, KS
Join us we discuss Agentic Software Development, the important step that moves us beyond "vibe coding" to industry-grade software development with AI as a pair programmer. Our presenters have been leveraging AI assistants for code generation for months. They will bring and share their hard-won wisdom and recommendations based on real-world experience.
As always, their presentations will serve as the kick-off for a rich session of Q&A and group discussion. If you've not enjoyed our discussions yet, you're missing out!
Importantly: Heavy hors d'oeuvre provided.
