# Event Details - **Event Name**: Building Real Software with AI: A Hands-On Workshop - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for an in-person workshop on Friday, April 24 at Closinglock!About this EventRound two, by popular demand! ?Our first session on building software with AI assistants was an absolute hit, and we had so many people asking for a repeat that we’re bringing it back. If you missed out last time but still want to learn how to level up your development game, now is your chance!---AI tools have gotten remarkably good at writing code. What used to take hours of boilerplate and syntax lookup can now happen in seconds. That changes the game — but it also changes what you need to be good at.This will be a hands-on introduction to building software with AI assistants. Using Claude Code and other modern tools, we'll write real features, fix real bugs, and see firsthand how AI accelerates development — and where it quietly introduces problems if you're not paying attention. You'll learn how to work with AI coding tools effectively, how to evaluate what they generate instead of blindly trusting it, and why practices like testing, code review, and version control become your most important safety net when AI is writing the code.Whether you write code daily or are exploring development for the first time, you'll leave with practical skills and a clear-eyed view of what AI can and can't do for you.Attendance Instructions?
