What this session covers

A practical, demo-driven introduction to Bob, IBM’s AI coding assistant. We’ll start with the essentials—getting set up and working with Bob day to day—then move into the best practices and some of the things that make Bob unique. You’ll see Bob build live, and get a first look at who Bob can help you modernize legacy code in Java, RPG, and COBOL. Come see what you can build with Bob.
