AI-Driven Development

This book, "AI-Driven Development," is born from the necessity to bridge the gap between traditional software engineering principles and this exciting new frontier. As educators and practitioners, I observed a burgeoning demand for a structured, accessible, and practical guide that could demystify AI's role in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). I wanted to create a resource that empowers the next generation of developers not to fear automation, but to harness it; to see AI not as a competitor, but as the most powerful collaborator they will ever have.
