AI has changed the way we write computer programs. With tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, you can describe what you want in plain English, and watch your AI assistant generate the code right before your eyes. It’s perfect for beginners, or anyone who’s struggled with the steep learning curve of traditional programming.
In Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming: With GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT you’ll learn how to:
- Write fun and useful Python applications—no programming experience required!
- Use the Copilot AI coding assistant to create Python programs
- Write prompts that tell Copilot exactly what to do
- Read Python code and understand what it does
- Test your programs to make sure they work the way you want them to
- Fix code with prompt engineering or human tweaks
- Apply Python creatively to help out on the job
Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming: With GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT is a hands-on beginner’s guide that is written by two esteemed computer science university professors. It teaches you everything you need to start programming Python in an AI-first world. You’ll hit the ground running, writing prompts that tell your AI-assistant exactly what you want your programs to do. Along the way, you’ll pick up the essentials of Python programming and practice the higher-level thinking you’ll need to create working apps for data analysis, automating tedious tasks, and even video games.
Foreword by Beth Simon, Ph.D.
