About the Event
Join SSW Chief Architect Adam Cogan at the Adelaide .NET User Group for a practical look at the AI tools changing how developers work.
Adam Cogan is speaking at the Adelaide .NET User Group.
From Copilot to the Garden of Eden
Move beyond the underwhelming 2023 "Copilot hype" to the 2026 tools that deliver value for developers. Adam cuts through the noise and explores how AI is reshaping the enterprise stack, from Copilot and Cowork to agentic workflows and CLI-based coding.
Agents such as OpenClaw and Hermes are changing how developers automate their day-to-day work. Learn how roles are shifting, which AI assistants are winning, and what an AI-integrated "Garden of Eden" looks like. Leave with a practical roadmap to build, analyze, and automate with confidence.
