This book is for any programmer who wants to learn how to use an AI assistant to develop software faster and better than ever before. To do that, this book shows how to use GitHub Copilot, the leading AI assistant for developing software. When used correctly, Copilot can help programmers develop software faster than ever before. In addition, it can help programmers develop code that’s of a higher quality. In some cases, it can even help programmers develop software that they wouldn’t be able to create without AI.

This book shows how to use Copilot by presenting examples that use languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and SQL. However, most of the concepts and skills presented in this book also apply to other programming languages, libraries, and frameworks. So, whatever kind of software you want to develop, this book can help you.

The only prerequisites for this book are a basic understanding of HTML and CSS as well as an understanding of any programming language like JavaScript or Python. That’s because when you use AI to generate code, you still need to review and thoroughly test that code.

Every Murach book guarantees high quality. The realistic examples show how each feature works in context. And the exercises at the end of each chapter let you gain valuable hands-on experience.
