Code Generation & Development

Python Development with Grok-4

Learn how to leverage Grok-4 for Python development, from simple scripts to complex applications.

Example: Data Analysis Script

# Prompt: "Create a Python script to analyze sales data from CSV"
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

def analyze_sales_data(csv_file):
    """
    Analyze sales data and generate insights
    """
    # Load the data
    df = pd.read_csv(csv_file)
    
    # Basic statistics
    print("Sales Data Overview:")
    print(f"Total Records: {len(df)}")
    print(f"Date Range: {df['date'].min()} to {df['date'].max()}")
    
    # Monthly sales trend
    df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
    monthly_sales = df.groupby(df['date'].dt.to_period('M'))['amount'].sum()
    
    # Visualization
    plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
    monthly_sales.plot(kind='line', marker='o')
    plt.title('Monthly Sales Trend')
    plt.xlabel('Month')
    plt.ylabel('Sales Amount')
    plt.grid(True, alpha=0.3)
    plt.show()
    
    return monthly_sales

# Usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    results = analyze_sales_data('sales_data.csv')

What You'll Learn:

  • • Writing clear, specific prompts for code generation
  • • Iterating and refining generated code
  • • Adding error handling and edge cases
  • • Optimizing code for performance
  • • Documentation and testing best practices

Web Development with Grok-4

Build modern web applications using Grok-4 for both frontend and backend development.

Example: React Component

// Prompt: "Create a React component for a responsive product card"
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import './ProductCard.css';

const ProductCard = ({ product }) => {
  const [isHovered, setIsHovered] = useState(false);

  const handleAddToCart = () => {
    // Add to cart logic
    console.log(`Added ${product.name} to cart`);
  };

  return (
    <div 
      className={`product-card ${isHovered ? 'hovered' : ''}`}
      onMouseEnter={() => setIsHovered(true)}
      onMouseLeave={() => setIsHovered(false)}
    >
      <div className="product-image">
        <img src={product.image} alt={product.name} />
        {product.discount && (
          <span className="discount-badge">-{product.discount}%</span>
        )}
      </div>
      
      <div className="product-info">
        <h3 className="product-name">{product.name}</h3>
        <p className="product-description">{product.description}</p>
        
        <div className="product-price">
          <span className="current-price">${product.price}</span>
          {product.originalPrice && (
            <span className="original-price">${product.originalPrice}</span>
          )}
        </div>
        
        <button 
          className="add-to-cart-btn"
          onClick={handleAddToCart}
        >
          Add to Cart
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ProductCard;

Advanced Techniques & Best Practices

Context Window Optimization

Learn how to effectively use Grok-4's massive 130K context window for complex projects.

Strategies for Large Codebases

  • • Breaking down large files into manageable chunks
  • • Maintaining context across multiple interactions
  • • Using reference patterns and architectural overviews
  • • Implementing incremental development approaches

Real-World Example

Prompt Strategy for Large Projects:

1. "Here's the project structure: [paste directory tree]"
2. "Key architectural decisions: [list main patterns]"
3. "Current task: [specific feature/bug]"
4. "Relevant files: [paste only related code]"
5. "Please implement/fix: [detailed request]"

This approach helps maintain context while
staying within token limits effectively.

Collaborative Development Workflows

Integrate Grok-4 into your team's development workflow for maximum productivity.

Code Reviews

  • • Automated code analysis
  • • Security vulnerability detection
  • • Performance optimization suggestions
  • • Code style consistency checks

Documentation

Generate comprehensive documentation:

  • • API documentation from code
  • • README files and guides
  • • Inline code comments
  • • Architecture diagrams

Testing

Automated test generation:

  • • Unit test creation
  • • Integration test scenarios
  • • Edge case identification
  • • Test data generation

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

Common Prompt Issues

❌ Vague Requests

Problem: "Make my code better"

✅ Solution: "Optimize this Python function for better memory usage and add error handling for edge cases"

❌ Missing Context

Problem: "Fix this bug" (without showing code)

✅ Solution: Include relevant code, error messages, and expected behavior

❌ Overly Complex Requests

Problem: "Build a complete e-commerce platform"

✅ Solution: Break down into smaller, specific tasks

Performance Optimization

🚀 Faster Responses

  • • Use specific, focused prompts
  • • Avoid unnecessary context
  • • Request concise outputs when appropriate

💡 Better Quality

  • • Provide examples of desired output
  • • Specify coding standards and conventions
  • • Request explanations for complex logic

🔄 Iterative Development

  • • Start with basic implementation
  • • Add features incrementally
  • • Test and refine each iteration
