The Era of AAP: Ai Augmented Programming using Modern Java by Stephan Janssen

As we enter the era of AI-Augmented Programming (AAP), developers stand at the threshold of a profound shift in software creation and maintenance. This talk delves into the emerging paradigm where Java and Large Language Models (LLMs) are leveraged to enhance and automate various stages of the development lifecycle. We'll explore how Java and LLMs are reshaping Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and transforming developer workflows. The presentation will demo the integration of both local and remote LLMs, demonstrating their practical applications in coding assistance, debugging, and even generating entire projects from high-level prompts. We’ll also explore a new and exciting approach named Test-Driven Generation (TDG), which uses LLMs to align testing and code generation for a streamlined, quality-driven development process.
