About this event

Join us for an exciting workshop on leveraging the power of AI with Gemini Code Assist! This hands-on session will guide you through the process of integrating AI-based tools into your coding workflow, focusing specifically on testing code efficiency and reliability.

In this lab, you'll use Gemini Code Assist, an AI-powered collaborator in Google Cloud, to add tests to an existing Python web application, and find and fix errors in that application exposed by the tests. You will then use Code Assist to create tests for new functionality and generate code to pass those tests and extend the app.

What you'll do...

  • You'll use Cloud Shell Editor to download code for an existing Web application.

  • You'll use Gemini Code Assist Chat in Cloud Shell Editor to ask general questions about Google Cloud.

  • You'll use Gemini Code Assist Inline code assistance in Cloud Shell Editor to generate tests for the application, run the tests, and find and fix errors, and then to extend the application's functionality.

What you'll learn...

  • How to use Gemini Code Assist for several developer tasks like test generation and code generation.

  • How to use Gemini Code Assist to learn about Google Cloud.

What you'll need...

  • Chrome web browser

  • A Gmail account

This lab is targeted to developers of all levels, including beginners. Although the sample application is in the Python language, you don't need to be familiar with Python programming in order to understand what's going on.

Don't miss this opportunity to refine your skills and network with fellow tech enthusiasts eager to innovate with AI. Bring your laptop and be ready to code! RSVP now and take the first step toward transforming your development practices.
