The Developer’s Guide to AI: From Prompts to Agents
Authors: Jacob Orshalick, Jerry M. Reghunadh & Danny Thompson
Publisher: No Starch Press
You’re a software developer. You solve complex problems and build real-world applications. So why does breaking into AI often feel like you have to switch careers overnight?
That’s the gap we saw. There are countless resources for AI, but a huge void for developers who just want to build.
This is why we, Jacob Orshalick, Danny Thompson, and I, wrote The Developer’s Guide to AI: From Prompts to Agents. We decided to create the resource we wished we had.
Over countless evenings and weekends, we poured everything into creating a guide that respects your role, teaches practical concepts, and gives you a clear path to applying AI to your work or to your personal projects.
