Intended Audience:
This book is for anyone who is trying to learn more about using AI assistants for developing software. Yes, it’s specifically about GitHub Copilot, but many of the examples and flows have parallels in other AI coding tools and environments. To get the most out of this book, you should already have experience coding in an IDE and have a basic knowledge of GitHub. To be clear, this book is not going to teach you how to code, how to use an IDE, or how to use GitHub. But it will help you multiply your productivity in all of those areas through using Copilot. Whether you are a software developer, quality engineer, SRE, or someone who is just looking to understand how an AI assistant like Copilot can benefit them, I believe you’ll find meaningful information and insights.
Here are some audiences that I had in mind while writing the book and that I think can benefit from it:
• Those who are new (or newish) to AI coding assistants and looking to understand what they are all about and how to best make use of them
• Those who already understand the concepts and flow of using AI coding assistants and want to understand what GitHub Copilot has to offer
• Those who want to understand and evaluate GitHub Copilot as a possible tool to use on a wider scale in their organization or business
• Those who already have some experience with GitHub Copilot and want to take full advantage of its features and functionality
• Those who are looking to understand how to compensate for some of GitHub Copilot’s shortcomings
• Those who want to understand the new features of Copilot, such as Agent mode
• Those who want to create their own GitHub Copilot extensions
• Those who work with GitHub and want to take advantage of the Copilot integration there
