Modern Enterprise App Development with VS 2026 + Copilot
Enterprise .NET developers who want to become proficient with Visual Studio 2026 and GitHub Copilot as a daily pair-programming tool, and know how to add AI features to classic enterprise apps when the business asks.
Completion Badge
Working proficiency in C# and ASP.NET Core (middleware, dependency injection, controllers or minimal APIs). Comfort with Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. Basic familiarity with Azure (subscriptions, resource groups, portal navigation). No prior GitHub Copilot or Azure AI Foundry experience required.
VS 2026 + Copilot: The Enterprise .NET Developer Workflow
Learn to use Visual Studio 2026 and GitHub Copilot together as the foundation of a modern enterprise .NET development workflow. This course grounds a working C# developer in the full Copilot surface: the Chat modes (Ask, Edit, and Agent), repository-level grounding through Copilot Spaces and `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, AI-assisted code review in the pull-request flow, bring-your-own-key configuration against an Azure AI Foundry deployment, and the enterprise governance surface (content exclusions, audit logs, policy, and IP indemnity).By the end of this course you will be able to configure Visual Studio 2026 for enterprise .NET work, use each Copilot Chat mode on the right kind of task, customize Copilot's responses with codebase-grounded instructions, drive a code review from a pull request, and point Copilot Chat at your own Microsoft Foundry model when compliance requires it.
Using Visual Studio 2026 with GitHub
Learn the end-to-end GitHub workflow inside Visual Studio 2026 repository sign-in, cloning, the Git Changes window, branching, pull requests with in-IDE code review, merge-conflict resolution, and continuous integration with GitHub Actions. You work on a .NET 10 ASP.NET Core Web API for a fictional parcel-delivery company. By the end of this course you will be able to drive a complete feature-branch workflow from first commit to merged pull request with passing CI without ever leaving Visual Studio 2026.
ASP.NET Core APIs with Copilot Coming Soon
Learn to build enterprise-grade ASP.NET Core APIs with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio 2026 as your pair-programmer. This course teaches minimal-API design under Copilot grounding, OpenAPI-first contracts, validation and typed error handling, structured observability, and the enterprise rate-limit pattern grounded in the acquired AdventureWorks dataset Dana Reyes's team is modernizing onto Halcyon Insurance's .NET 10 stack. By the end you will be able to scaffold a versioned, validated, instrumented production-ready Web API against an existing enterprise schema using Copilot's Ask, Edit, and Agent modes with Halcyon's conventions pinned via copilot-instructions.md.
