Welcome to the Design-to-Code Enterprise Workshop! This repository takes you on a transformative journey from traditional manual design interpretation to the world of AI-assisted design-to-code workflows and automated component generation.
As a developer in today's fast-paced design-driven environment, you face a critical challenge: most of your time isn't spent creating new features. According to industry studies:
- Traditional design-to-code approaches require extensive manual interpretation
- High inconsistency leads to design system drift and maintenance overhead
- Difficult to maintain design fidelity across multiple frameworks
- Reactive bug fixing instead of proactive component optimization
This workshop provides hands-on guidance to implement modern design-to-code workflows using AI-powered tools. We'll demonstrate how GitHub Copilot, Figma API, and Azure AI Foundry can transform your frontend development strategy.
"Design-to-code is not about replacing designers or developers, but about amplifying their abilities to create consistent, accessible, and maintainable user interfaces faster than ever before."
The workshop is organized into progressive modules, allowing you to choose the depth of coverage based on your time and experience:
