Book Description

AI-assisted coding is transforming how software is built-faster, smarter, and with fewer errors. GitHub Copilot leads this revolution by turning natural language into functional code, enabling developers to focus on solving problems rather than writing boilerplate.

The Ultimate AI-Assisted Development with GitHub Copilot takes you step-by-step through mastering Copilot, starting with initial setup and basic use across multiple languages like Java, Python, TypeScript, Go, and C++. You'll explore prompt engineering techniques to craft effective instructions, leverage multi-modal inputs to interact beyond text, and unlock advanced features like Vibe Coding and Agent Mode to create context-aware, intelligent workflows. The book also covers integrating Copilot into testing and debugging processes, automating repetitive tasks, and embedding AI-powered coding into CI/CD pipelines to streamline DevOps practices.

Whether you're building APIs, automating tests, refactoring code, or optimizing release workflows, this book teaches you how to collaborate with AI-not just use it. Don't get left behind-unlock the full potential of GitHub Copilot and future-proof your skills today.
