Demonstrates GitHub Copilot Workspace starting from a template repository to scaffold a to-do application, showing how AI can jumpstart creativity when starting a new project. The video walks through the full specification-to-plan workflow, iterating with a live app preview, and switching between Copilot Workspace and GitHub Codespaces to make direct code edits. It also covers the share feature for collaborating on work in progress and the automated first deployment via GitHub Actions.

Chris recaps the health endpoint monitoring pattern episode and a PC build blog, then previews the debut of Cloud Gaming Notes with Lee Williams on game server hosting, and a candid mental health conversation with Andrew Nathan. He reviews Azure updates including Azure Cloud Services Extended Support ARM-based deployment, Azure AD Premium 99.99% SLA, the Azure Architecture Center January digest, and GitHub engineering posts on canary deployment strategies and JavaScript performance optimisation.

Chris walks through GitHub Actions fundamentals and demonstrates how to use them to build and deploy a multi-tenant Azure Functions API and a static frontend — both triggered automatically on push and pull request events. Using a pet project (a Yu-Gi-Oh card inventory app) as the real-world example, the session covers CI/CD concepts, workflow triggers, GitHub Secrets, publish profiles, Dependabot, and the GitHub public roadmap for upcoming Actions features like manual deployment approvals.
