Claude Code vs. the Field: How It Redefines AI-Driven Development
Friday, Aug 8
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Grand Ballroom A
Description
The landscape of AI-powered development tools is evolving rapidly — and developers are finding themselves flooded with options, from GitHub Copilot to Amazon CodeWhisperer and beyond. But among the noise, one platform is quietly redefining what’s possible: Claude Code from Anthropic.
In this live, high-energy technical session, we’ll introduce you to the most capable AI development assistant we’ve ever used — and we’ve used them all. You’ll get a fast-paced, opinionated walkthrough of the current AI coding landscape and where Claude Code fits in. But this isn’t a theoretical discussion: we’ll spend the bulk of the session building a real, working application using only Claude and a developer’s guidance.
We’ll showcase how Claude handles architectural planning, scaffolding complex logic, translating requirements into production-quality code, and even maintaining and improving existing applications. You’ll see how it excels not just as a code generator but as a thinking partner — streamlining team workflows, boosting individual productivity, and enhancing engineering quality across the board.
If you’re a software developer, architect, or team lead looking for practical, hands-on insight into how AI can reshape your development process — and you want to see what’s truly next-gen in action — this session is your front-row seat.
