This book is designed to transition readers from having little to no experience with AIpowered coding tools to becoming proficient developers able to leverage these powerful technologies in their projects. Given the broadness of introducing both programming and AI concepts, we assume you're familiar with Python.

My journey to writing this book has been enriched with diverse experiences. Working with various projects, I've faced the task of integrating and leveraging AI tools in development workflows. Back then, the robustness of AI assistance and documentation we enjoy today was not available, making the transition challenging yet incredibly rewarding.

Th roughout this book, we'll delve into the core aspects of generative AI models like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, providing a hands-on understanding of their application in real-world scenarios. We'll explore how these AI models can interact with Python to create efficient, self-documenting code, make predictive suggestions, and assist in the design phase.

It' s essential for professionals to thoroughly understand their tools, and this book ensures just that. We will familiarize you with various features of AI models, ranging from beginner-friendly to advanced capabilities. Additionally, we will also discuss how these AI models fit into the testing cycle, their role in debugging, and their ability to explain code and concepts.
