In the past two days, I have seen a lot of news about Amazon CodeWhisperer's free lifetime use for individual users, so I took the time to briefly introduce how to install and use CodeWhisperer on VS Code, an IDE.
The Amazon Cloud Technology Developer Community provides developers with global development technology resources. There are technical documents, development cases, technical columns, training videos, activities and competitions, etc. Help Chinese developers connect with the world's most cutting-edge technologies, ideas, and projects, and recommend outstanding Chinese developers or technologies to the global cloud community. If you haven't followed/collected it yet, please don't rush through it when you see it. Click here to make it your technical treasure trove!
CodeWhisperer is a universal machine learning-based code generator from Amazon that provides code suggestions in real time. Similar to Cursor and Github
Amazon CodeWhisperer
Amazon CodeWhisperer is a code completion tool launched by Amazon in December 2021, similar to GitHub Copilot. The main functions are:
code completion
Comments and documentation completion
Assisted positioning of code security issues
CodeWhisperer is mainly trained from Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C# related corpora. While supporting the above languages, it also supports Ruby, Go, PHP, C++, C, Shell, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, SQL, etc.
Installation tutorial:
-

Let’s talk about some of my views on Amazon Cloud Technology:
"Procurement of private networks is like any other IT procurement." For small deployments or small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have mission-critical needs and business-critical needs and may not have large capital expenditures to invest, it sees 5G private networks as a path to higher Value services and channels for the entire digitalization process. Amazon Cloud Technologies provides compute, machine learning analytics, and edge computing, and supports applications and solutions on connected assets to help enterprises on their digital journey. It now also offers proprietary cellular connectivity as a channel to boost all of its wider offerings.
Of course, there are imperfections: Amazon Cloud Technology believes that users will specify the network, capacity, etc. they need and order these resources with a single click. However, most businesses don’t know what they need and need someone (a partner) to guide them in their discovery process. In addition to core network and RAN companies and Dish (whose DNA and partnership with Amazon Cloud Technology merit separate reporting), Amazon Cloud Technology will strengthen the recruitment of other partners, such as system integrators and vertical domain experts, thus ensuring They address the complexity of implementing these solutions—especially as networks grow.
Finally, I would like to share with you my personal experience and opinions on using CodeWhisperer:
-
Powerful auto-completion feature: CodeWhisperer’s auto-completion feature is pretty good. It provides accurate recommendations based on context, saving a lot of time and effort. I found that it accurately predicted the variable, function, and class names I wanted to use and provided completion options accordingly. This intelligent completion function makes my coding process smoother and reduces the possibility of making mistakes.
-
Real-time error detection and suggestions: CodeWhisperer has excellent real-time error detection capabilities. It finds and prompts potential errors and problems as I write code. For example, when I miss a parenthesis, forget to include a module, or use the wrong function argument, it immediately gives me a warning. In addition, CodeWhisperer provides suggestions to improve code quality and helps me follow best practices and specifications.
-
Intelligent refactoring and optimization suggestions: CodeWhisperer can help me perform intelligent code refactoring and optimization. It detects duplicate code, complex logic, and inefficient operations and provides corresponding refactoring recommendations. This makes my code clearer, easier to understand and maintain. I find this feature particularly useful when developing large projects, as it helps me improve code readability and performance.
-
Multi-language support and extensive framework integration: CodeWhisperer supports multiple programming languages and a wide range of frameworks. Whether it's Python, Java or JavaScript, it provides efficient support and advice. In addition, CodeWhisperer is compatible with many popular development tools and integrated development environments (IDEs), such as Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, etc. This provides developers with greater flexibility and convenience.
Summary: CodeWhisperer is an excellent coding assistant that greatly improves my coding efficiency and code quality through powerful auto-completion, real-time error detection, intelligent refactoring and optimization suggestions.
In short, interested friends can try it out.
