AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp 2025 Launch Stream

In this session, Alexey Grigorev, founder of DataTalks.Club and creator of the AI Dev Tools Zoom Camp, shares his practical experience using AI coding tools daily for more than two years. He walks through how developers can structure an effective AI-assisted workflow, avoid common pitfalls, and build real projects by collaborating with LLMs, not blindly relying on them. Throughout the talk, Alexey introduces the 2024/2025 edition of the AI Dev Tools Zoom Camp, covering module topics, course logistics, recommended tools, and best practices for guiding AI agents, writing tests, deploying code, and automating tasks with low-code platforms. You’ll learn about: - How to structure an efficient AI-assisted software development workflow - Prerequisites for using LLMs effectively as coding partners - How each course module prepares you for real-world AI-accelerated development - Recommended AI coding tools, from best-value LLMs to free alternatives - How to submit assignments, manage Git workflows, and organize your project repos - How low-/no-code tools like n8n support automation and rapid prototyping - How community feedback shapes future editions of the course Links: - Course repo: https://github.com/DataTalksClub/ai-dev-tools-zoomcamp - Donations: https://github.com/sponsors/alexeygrigorev/ TIMECODES: 00:00 Welcome to the First Edition of AI Dev Tools Zoom Camp 04:55 Sharing AI Coding Workflow Experience and Suggestions 08:10 Prerequisites for AI-Assisted Development and Code Execution 12:05 Requesting GitHub Stars to Boost Course Visibility 15:40 Course Module Overview and Challenges Finding a DevOps Instructor 18:50 Module 2: End-to-End Project Implementation with AI Guidance 23:15 Module 6: Low-Code and No-Code Automation Using n8n 28:50 Course Logistics, Module Timeline, and Christmas Break Planning 33:50 How to Submit Homework via the Course Management Platform 37:55 Supporting the Course Through Optional Donations 42:05 Estimated Weekly Workload for AI Dev Tools Zoom Camp 49:00 Using agents.mmd to Automate Regular Git Commits 54:30 Instructions for Submitting Homework Code on GitHub 57:55 Best Value AI Coding LLMs Including Z AI and GitHub Copilot 1:03:00 Finding Free AI Coding Tool Alternatives and Sharing Community Solutions 1:06:20 Flexibility in AI Dev Tool Usage and Adopting Effective LLM Workflows 1:12:15 Official Course Kickoff and Importance of Learner Feedback This talk is ideal for developers, data professionals, MLOps engineers, AI/ML learners, and technical teams looking to improve productivity with AI coding tools.
