AI-assisted development is moving beyond simply asking an AI to write code. AWS Kiro introduces a more structured approach to software development, helping you plan, guide, automate, and improve your development workflow with AI. Welcome to the Complete AWS Kiro Course: AI-Assisted Coding Masterclass – a practical, beginner-friendly course designed to take you from your first interaction with Kiro through its most important development workflows and capabilities. You don’t need prior Kiro experience. We’ll work progressively through the Kiro IDE and use a simple portfolio application to explore how these tools work in practice.
What You’ll Learn?
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Use Kiro for AI-assisted coding and understand how an AI development environment differs from traditional coding workflows.
- Prompt Kiro effectively to get clearer, more useful results from AI-assisted development.
- Use Steering to provide persistent project guidance, conventions, and instructions to Kiro.
- Use Specs to transform an idea into requirements, design, and actionable tasks before implementation.
- Execute and manage Spec tasks, including understanding the difference between required and optional tasks.
- Create Agent Hooks that automatically respond to development events and automate repetitive workflows.
