The Practical Introduction to AI-Based Programming

This book introduces the core functions of AI-based development tools. It presents a variety of tools, ranging from general LLMs to systems used within development environments. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages as well as use cases of popular systems. Suitable for both programming beginners and experienced developers. Harness the potential of the latest AI technologies for your work: this practical guide demonstrates the use of AI development tools throughout the software development process – including planning, design, programming, debugging, and testing. You will learn how to utilize a wide range of tools to program faster and more effectively – from general LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) to code-specific systems (GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, Cursor, and Amazon CodeWhisperer). More specialized generative AI tools for tasks such as text-to-image creation are also explained. Tom Taulli presents a methodology for modular programming that is effectively aligned with the way prompts generate AI-generated code. He also describes how LLMs can be used for general purposes, such as learning a programming language, explaining code, or converting code from one language to another.
