Practical techniques to accelerate software development using generative AI.
Let’s get real. You’d like to hand off a lot of tedious software development tasks to an assistant—and now you can! AI-powered coding tools like Copilot can accelerate research, design, code creation, testing, troubleshooting, documentation, refactoring and more. Coding with AI shows you how. Written for working developers, this book fast-tracks you to AI-powered productivity with bite-size projects, tested prompts, and techniques for getting the most out of AI.
In Coding with AI you’ll learn how to:
Incorporate AI tools into your development workflow
Create pro-quality documentation and tests
Debug and refactor software efficiently
Create and organize reusable prompts
Coding with AI takes you through several small Python projects with the help of AI tools, showing you exactly how to use AI to create and refine real software. This book skips the baby steps and goes straight to the techniques you’ll use on the job, every day. You’ll learn to sidestep AI inefficiencies like hallucination and identify the places where AI can save you the most time and effort.
About the Technology Taking a systematic approach to coding with Al will deliver the clarity, consistency, and scalability you need for production-grade applications. With practice, you can use AI tools to break down complex problems, generate maintainable code, enhance your models, and streamline debugging, testing, and collaboration. As you learn to work with AI’s strengths—and recognize its limitations—you’ll build more reliable software and find that the quality of your generated code improves significantly.
About the Book Coding with AI shows you how to gain massive benefits from a powerful array of AI-driven development tools and techniques. And it shares the insights and methods you need to use them effectively in professional projects. Following realistic examples, you’ll learn AI coding for database integration, designing a UI, and establishing an automated testing suite. You’ll even vibe code a game—but only after you’ve built a rock-solid foundation.
