We had a blast! Yesterday, around 50 curious minds joined us to learn all about GitHub Copilot. We saw demos of GitHub Copilot with VS Code, OpenAI Codex and GitHub Copilot CLI. We’d like to extend our thanks to Nadia Heta and Michael Watson for their generous support, along with our rockstar featured speaker, Daniel Fang who led the workshop with his esteemed colleagues. Keep an eye for our next meetup. Something exciting is coming your way! Soyoung Lee Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Katie Savage Sam Alavi Arafat Tehsin #GitHubCopilot

🚀 Ever wanted GitHub Copilot to feel less like vibe coding and more like a reliable buddy? This session is a fun, hands-on run-through of agentic development: break coding work into steps, set patterns, iterate fast, and ship with confidence. 🎯 We'll do these together: - The agentic dev mindset (plan → build → verify → improve) - Tips + insights on the latest features: models, CLI, MCP, skills, instruction and customisation - Hands-on lightning labs: build something real, and leave with a working result 📌 You still have time to sign up and participate in an enjoyable experience, leaving you inspired with fresh ideas and better prompts! https://lnkd.in/gRUbMC8n #GitHubCopilotDevDays #GitHubCopilot #AIDevelopment #DeveloperCommunity #VSCode #Codex #Claude #AzureSydneyUserGroup
