Simplifying Code Explanation, Optimization, Transformation, and Feature Development
In this chapter, we will look at the following key topics:
- Explaining and updating code
- Transforming code
- Developing code features
In Part 2, we dived deep into how Amazon Q Developer can help developers be more efficient by assisting them in auto-generating code based on different prompting techniques. In this chapter, we will expand on some other key features of Amazon Q Developer.
First, we will explore how Q can provide developers with explanations of existing code, even without them having prior knowledge of the code they are trying to understand. Next, we will examine how Q can help transform an existing code base from a lower version of the programming language to the desired upper version. In our case, we will focus on how Q transforms Java code. Finally, we will explore how Q can assist in developing new code features or making changes to existing projects. This is...
