Copilot is just a fancy autocomplete...
Sure, it works well for mainstream languages like C#. But AL? That quirky language behind Business Central? GitHub Copilot is nothing more than a glorified autocomplete...
Or is it?
I'm here to show you how Copilot has evolved into so much more over the past year. Sure, there's Copilot Chat - cool, but we've all had ChatGPT for a while. The real game-changer? *Copilot Edits.*
This isn't just code suggestions; it's code creation. Tables, pages, codeunits, subscribers, tests - all in AL - and guess what? They compile. Copilot Edits takes care of the tedious work so you can focus on solving real problems and building what matters.
And it's not just about AL. I've even used it to convince X++ developers (the language of FO, even weirder than AL) that it's time to embrace a smarter way to code.
Whether you're already a Copilot fan or a skeptic, this session will show you how much further it can go. Let me show you why Copilot Edits is the next big leap for AL.
