Book Description
Get practical advice on how to leverage AI development tools for all stages of code creation, including requirements, planning, design, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation. With this book, beginners and experienced developers alike will learn how to use a wide range of tools, from general-purpose LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) to code-specific systems (GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, Cursor, and Amazon CodeWhisperer).
You’ll also learn about more specialized generative AI tools for tasks such as text-to-image creation.
Author Tom Taulli provides a methodology for modular programming that aligns effectively with the way prompts create AI-generated code. This guide also describes the best ways of using general purpose LLMs to learn a programming language, explain code, or convert code from one language to another.
This book examines:
- The core capabilities of AI-based development tools
- Pros, cons, and use cases of popular systems such as GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer
- Ways to use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other generic LLMs for coding
- Using AI development tools for the software development lifecycle, including requirements, planning, coding, debugging, and testing
- Prompt engineering for development
- Using AI-assisted programming for tedious tasks like creating regular expressions, starter code, object-oriented programming classes, and GitHub Actions
- How to use AI-based low-code and no-code tools, such as to create professional UIs
Review
“AI-Assisted Programming is an excellent resource that showcases Tom’s expertise and equips readers for the current evolution of software development, empowering everyone to code.” (Justin Dorfman, Open Source Community Manager at Sourcegraph)
“AI is rapidly changing how developers build software. From code editors to terminal and more, AI assistance is becoming pervasive. AI-assisted Programming should be the first read for any developer trying to get the most from AI in their daily workflows.” (Zach Lloyd, CEO and cofounder of Warp)
“Tom Taulli’s AI-assisted programming guide is a well-structured journey into how AI tools like ChatGPT can change the game for developers – both early in their careers and for seasoned experts. It shares applicable insights on the ups and downs of AI-powered coding, much like my own journey from marketing and business to shipping features in production for our app. Great for programmers looking to leverage AI as part of their toolbox.” (Titus Capilnean, cofounder at Private Market Labs)
“AI has changed the game for development. Every programmer will need to know how to work with tools like GitHub Copilot. Tom’s book shows how.” (Sudhakar Muddu, CEO and cofounder of Aisera)
