Overview of this book

Software development is being transformed by GenAI tools, such as ChatGPT, OpenAI API, and GitHub Copilot, redefining how developers work. This book will help you become a power user of GenAI for Python code generation, enabling you to write better software faster. Written by an ML advisor with a thriving tech social media presence and a top AI leader who brings Harvard-level instruction to the table, this book combines practical industry insights with academic expertise. With this book, you'll gain a deep understanding of large language models (LLMs) and develop a systematic approach to solving complex tasks with AI. Through real-world examples and practical exercises, you’ll master best practices for leveraging GenAI, including prompt engineering techniques like few-shot learning and Chain-of-Thought (CoT). Going beyond simple code generation, this book teaches you how to automate debugging, refactoring, performance optimization, testing, and monitoring. By applying reusable prompt frameworks and AI-driven workflows, you’ll streamline your software development lifecycle (SDLC) and produce high-quality, well-structured code. By the end of this book, you'll know how to select the right AI tool for each task, boost efficiency, and anticipate your next coding moves—helping you stay ahead in the AI-powered development era.

From Automation to Full Software Development Life Cycle: The Current Opportunity for GenAI

If you are reading this book, you have probably heard some of the excitement, hype, concerns, and reality of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for coding. You may have checked out some tutorials online and perhaps even explored using this technology for your own coding.

Learning to apply GenAI to software coding takes both practice and time. While there are many online demonstrations of the capabilities, there has not been a systematic approach for achieving functional, quality code with any consistency. There also aren’t many resources that guide developers to use GenAI beyond simple code completion or perhaps testing. GenAI can be particularly useful in expediting tasks such as standardizing coding style to improve readability, debugging, optimizing performance, and the many other tasks performed by software engineers.

In this chapter, we will explore the following...
