AI is changing the way software is built-and GitHub Copilot is leading that transformation.
Build with GitHub Copilot: Real Projects Powered by AI is a practical, hands-on guide for developers who want to harness AI to write better code, move faster, and build real-world applications with confidence. Rather than focusing on theory alone, this book shows you how to collaborate effectively with GitHub Copilot across the entire software development lifecycle.
From setting up Copilot and writing effective prompts to debugging, testing, refactoring, and deployment, the book walks you step by step through modern AI-assisted workflows. You'll learn not just what Copilot can do, but how to guide it, evaluate its output, and use it responsibly in professional projects.
The second half of the book focuses on real, end-to-end projects, including web applications, APIs, automation scripts, mobile apps, and data analysis workflows. Each project demonstrates how Copilot can accelerate development while maintaining code quality, security, and clarity. You'll also explore how Copilot fits into team collaboration, DevOps pipelines, and future-focused development practices.
Whether you are a beginner exploring AI-powered coding for the first time or an experienced developer looking to modernize your workflow, this book equips you with the skills, mindset, and best practices needed to thrive in the age of AI-assisted software development.
