Writing computer programs in Python just got a lot easier! Use AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot to go from idea to application faster than you can say “ChatGPT.”
In Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming: With 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 Copilot and ChatGPT is a beginner’s guide that embraces AI as the future of coding. AI-assisted coding tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT empower you to create useful Python applications without learning all the low-level details of a programming language. You’ll hit the ground running as you write 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 science, automation, and even video games.
about the technology 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.
We’ll introduce you to your AI Assistant, Copilot, an amazing tool that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help people write software. More importantly, we’ll show you how Copilot can help you learn how to program. We’re not expecting that you’ve written any programs before. If you have, please don’t skip this chapter, even if you already know a little bit about programming. Everyone needs to know why writing programs is different now that we have AI assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot, and that the skills we need to be effective programmers change. As we’ll see, we also need to be vigilant, because sometimes tools like ChatGPT and Copilot lie.
about the book Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming: With Copilot and ChatGPT teaches you to code the AI way. Instead of starting with slow, low-level details, you’ll learn how to bring your ideas to life immediately using AI-generated code. You’ll practice the new essentials, like prompt engineering, code reading, and AI-assisted testing and program design. As you go, you’ll absorb the basics of Python programming so you can understand and improve your programs. You’ll quickly write small-but-useful Python programs for data visualization, automation, and more. Absolutely no programming experience required!
