AI-Assisted Programming: Better Planning, Coding, Testing, and Deployment

This book is a must-read for those who work in the IT industry specifically in applications services. The writing is so fluid and clear that I was able to finish it in less than three days.

A good basic discussion of integrating AI assistance into coding.

Very disappointed, I generally expect much more of O’Reilly books. The screen shots were of very low quality and much of the content just seemed lazy, like it was paraphrased from vendor’s websites.

We have dev teams building on measuring estimating and CRM software for construction especially flooring and countertop trades for 20 years on various tech stacks, Windows desktop, iOS/Android apps, and browser-based project management. As a Ph.D from computer science, I never thought that AI will have this fast changing impact on application development, this book opens the door for future programming paradigm. We are excited to practice the tips, tools and processes in the book.

I read another book about AI-assisted programming. It focused on Python and how to build a program. But it was too tedious.As for Tom’s book, it has a much better approach. It focuses on the key areas for developers, without getting into the weeds with a certain language. The book is also chock full of great tips. Oh, and Tom’s writing style is breezy and fun. It didn’t take long to read this book.

As a developer, I've been noticing a trend in job listings: more companies are looking for candidates with experience in AI-assisted programming tools like GitHub Copilot. It's becoming important for career success. That's why this book is so timely and valuable. It provides practical, actionable advice on how to use different AI tools throughout the entire software development lifecycle. It goes from requirements gathering and planning to coding, debugging, testing, and documentation. So any developer who wants to stay ahead in today's job market and take advantage of the latest AI technologies should definitely pick up a copy of this book.

"AI-Assisted Programming" by Tom Taulli is an excellent guide that explains how developers of all levels can utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve their coding process. This book provides a detailed analysis of various current AI development tools, making it easier for readers to choose the right one for their needs. The book's modular methodology aligns perfectly with learning more about these new tools. The AI-generated code samples and explorations of low-code and no-code development platforms add to the comprehensive knowledge. Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in unlocking the full potential of AI in software development and is recommended for both beginners and experienced developers.
