  • Plan framework or language migrations with AI assistance
  • Build a modernization roadmap with priorities and estimates

Who this is for

Developers, tech leads, and architects working with older codebases who want to modernize them with AI assistance.

Prerequisites

  • • AI in Development

Syllabus

1

Understanding Legacy Code with AI

Every developer knows the feeling: you open a repo, no docs, no tests, the original authors long gone. AI helps you understand what the code does — and why.

2

Safe Refactoring with AI

Refactoring legacy code without tests is like surgery without imaging. AI helps you build a safety net first — then cut.

3

AI-Generated Tests for Untested Code

Zero test coverage is not a death sentence. AI can generate a meaningful test suite in hours, not weeks.

4

Migration Patterns with AI Assistance

Framework or language migration is a project everyone dreads. With AI you can eliminate 80% of manual work and dramatically reduce risk.

5

Documentation Rescue with AI

From zero docs to full coverage in a fraction of the time. AI reads code and writes documentation you would never have time to write yourself.

6

Modernization Roadmap: Priorities, Estimates, Risks

You cannot modernize everything at once. AI helps you decide what first, what later, and what to leave alone.
