Supercharged Coding with GenAI

Foundations for Coding with GenAI

In Part 1 of this book, we introduce the fundamentals of GenAI for coding and get you started with both OpenAI API and GitHub Copilot. The part begins with a discussion of how GenAI for coding has recently emerged from the intersection of a long evolution in software development tools and the recent large language models (LLMs) from the AI space. This recent fusion of technologies has completely changed the programming landscape. Now is the perfect time to begin the journey since applying them across software engineering tasks requires both training and practice.

The remainder of Part 1 provides hands-on guidance to start using OpenAI API and GitHub Copilot. After setting up these tools, the part introduces best practices for prompting.

This part contains the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, From Automation to Full Software Development Life Cycle: The Current Opportunity for GenAI
  • Chapter 2, Your Quickstart Guide to OpenAI API
  • Chapter 3, A Guide to GitHub Copilot with PyCharm, VS Code, and Jupyter Notebook
  • Chapter 4, Best Practices for Prompting with ChatGPT
  • Chapter 5, Best Practices for Prompting with OpenAI API and GitHub Copilot

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

If you are a Python developer curious about GenAI and are looking to elevate your software engineering productivity, Supercharged Coding with GenAI will transform your approach to software. Covering various structured examples of varying problem complexities that showcase the use of advanced prompting techniques, this book is suitable for early intermediate through advanced developers. To get the most out of this book, you should have at least one year of hands-on Python development experience and be somewhat familiar with the SDLC.
