Who it's for
Absolute beginners who have never written a prompt and need a quick overview of the terminology.
Who should skip it
Developers looking for practical, non-obvious techniques to improve their Copilot usage.
Pros
Quick to complete.
Up-to-date with current GitHub Copilot features.
Clearly explains the basic data flow.
Cons
Extremely basic; content feels like a product pamphlet.
No hands-on exercises, just reading and a quiz.
Advice is common sense (e.g., 'be specific').
It's a pamphlet. You read a few pages of text telling you to 'be specific' with your prompts, then take a quiz. No code, no editor, nothing to actually *do*. It's marketing material disguised as training. I spent longer getting coffee than going through this thing. Just go use Copilot; you'll learn more from trial and error.
