James Montemagno and Microsoft's Cinnamon released a self-guided hands-on workshop, 'First Steps with GitHub Copilot,' aimed at developers just getting started.
- Runs about 60-90 minutes, covering the App, CLI, and VS Code surfaces
- Walks from building off a local folder through planning features, pushing to git, creating and managing issues, and merging
- Structured as an interactive lab that builds a dependency-free 10-question space quiz, from first prompt to tested, publishable project
