Generative AI in Software DevelopmentEdizione 1

Generative AI in Software Development: A Practical Guide for Engineering Leaders explores how large language models and generative tools are fundamentally changing the way software is created, tested, and maintained. This isn’t a theoretical or academic deep dive; it’s a practical, grounded guide for developers, product teams, and tech leaders who want to understand how generative AI can be embedded into real-world software workflows. From writing and debugging code to generating UI components, managing APIs, and automating deployment tasks, this book shows how AI is becoming a true co-developer.

What sets this book apart is its balance: it’s not just for hardcore engineers nor is it a high-level overview filled with buzzwords. Instead, it sits at the intersection technical enough to be useful but accessible enough for product managers and decision-makers. The industry is at an inflection point where AI-assisted development is no longer optional; it’s become essential. This book fills the gap for those who want to move beyond the hype and see exactly how generative AI can speed up development, improve code quality, and change the economics of software delivery.
