Who it's for

Developers who have Copilot access but aren't using it beyond basic autocomplete.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking for deep AI theory or advanced prompting techniques.

Pros

  • Covers the full Copilot workflow: docs, tests, refactoring.
  • Hands-on exercises in a real dev environment.
  • Introduces 'vibe coding' as a formal concept.

Cons

  • Exercises can feel like following a script.
  • Content is introductory for seasoned Copilot users.
  • Assumes you are already paying for Copilot to do the exercises.

The 'vibe coding' unit was a surprise. I expected another tutorial on asking Copilot for a sorting algorithm. Instead, it was about describing the 'feel' of the code you want—sloppy, but it gets a prototype up fast. That felt real. The rest of the path is a guided tour of the buttons you already see in VS Code. The unit testing module is solid; it forced me to use Copilot Chat to generate edge cases instead of just the happy path. I've been paying for this thing for a year and mostly used it as a glorified autocomplete. This path was a decent, if slightly scripted, kick in the pants to actually use the whole tool. Some exercises are just copy-pasting prompts, but it beats reading documentation.
