When I used to code, I was mostly a character developer in the 4GL. The world has moved substantially away from this paradigm over the years. Recently, two thinks have intrigued me. The first are all the tools and tooling provided by the Telerik brand of components. Seems they do very good work. The other is modern mobile app development methodologies like React and Angular.

In this talk, we will follow the journey of a rusty developer investigating both of these topics with the help of ChatGPT. We will cover how to interact with a LLM to get the most out of these inquiries. We will demonstrate the code and suggestions for an initial build of a demo application. We will also use the LLM to refine and learn much more about both technologies.

AI is already very powerful and is an essential tool for every modern software developer, even us old dogs.
