Vibe Coding Roadshow #6 - Specification-based Agentic Coding

The Vibe Coding Roadshow brings AI-powered companion programming down to Earth in a forty-minute live coding demonstration.

Using GitHub Copilot and the latest GPT models, the Roadshow illustrates how to reduce the barrier of entry to existing projects or to build new ones from scratch. By bringing critical thinking, inspiration, and well-defined guardrails, one can build and deploy one's amazing ideas in mere minutes. In this live coding demonstration, the presenter will build an application from scratch in an unfamiliar programming language and deploy it to Azure infrastructure.

The goal of this session is to provide valuable insights into the use of AI-powered coding agents. By setting a specific goal, developing a small web application such as the game of checkers, the presenter will demonstrate prompt engineering and collaboration with GitHub Copilot to build the application while learning a novel programming language. Deployment to an Azure App Service will allow attendees to experience an option for displaying their ideas to the world.

Attendees should expect to learn about: - Prompt engineering - Guardrails for agentic programming companions - Application infrastructure-as-code deployment
