# Copilot Master class Workshop

 

This is a workshop to help you get started with GitHub Copilot. The idea is to teach you how to use Copilot effectively in your day-to-day coding tasks. To show you how to use Copilot, this workshop have different sections and each section will have a set of exercises.



## Recommended prerequisites



- Basic understanding of programming in the language of your choice.

- Visual Studio Code installed.

- A GitHub account. 



## Prompts



Prompts are the way you interact with Copilot. A prompt in this workshop is shown in the following way, clearly highlighted:



> PROMPT: "build a space game that contains a ship you control, should be a green rectangle, and 3 enemy fighters placed at the top of the screen. The screen is 800x600 pixels and uses a canvas element"



The idea is you type the prompt in your in the Copilot Chat input and Copilot will generate code for you.



## Narrative - Building a Space Invaders game



To ensure you have a great time learning, this workshop has a narrative namely to build a Space Invaders game. This narrative will help you understand how to use Copilot in more real looking scenario.

## Supported programming languages



This workshop is designed to work with `JavaScript` by default. Support is currently being added for the following languages:



- Java

- Python

- .NET/C#



To find a specific language, check for sub folders for each section being called either `javascript`, `java`, `python`, or `dotnet`.



## Assets



To build a space game, you will need some assets. Each section has its own `assets` folder.



If you want to improve the game, you can use the `assets` folder found in the [04 Green field assets](./04-green-field/assets/) section, as it contains a large variety of graphics and these exercises only implements a subset.



## Train the trainer



To conduct this workshop, you're encouraged to:



- Deliver the [deck](./Copilot%20workshop,%201h.pptx). When you encounter demo sections, go to the corresponding section in this repo and type in the prompts in order in your Copilot Chat.
