The heart of Modern Software Engineering is building and delivering software faster, reducing complexity and risk, all without sacrificing quality—quality of the software AND quality of the experience of everyone involved in building and delivering that software. The list of technical strategies, tools, and leading practices that enable modern software engineering is long and evolving rapidly. This track will help you stay on top of leading practices, tools, and strategies both with and without AI. You’ll see how good practices today will make your future self, team members, stakeholders, even your boss, happy. You’ll see how to build and deploy with modern tooling in Azure DevOps and GitHub, and how to weave AI into your coding and larger engineering practices. From test-driven development to agentic DevOps workflows, from GitHub Actions–powered deployments to orchestrating the modern software factory, this track equips you with the skills and strategies to ship better software, faster.
You’ll find coverage of:
- Agentic DevOps with GitHub or Azure DevOps
- Busy Developer’s Guide to Python
- Deploy Like a Pro: Get to Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot
- Orchestrating the Modern Software Factory: GitHub as the Intelligent Control Plane
