An excellently written first guide for an entirely new educational approach
Since GitHub's release of Copilot in 2021 and especially following the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, it's become clear that the act of programming is no longer what it was. The AI allows programmers to move much more quickly, necessitating a renewed focus on proper program decomposition and effective testing, to allow the human developer to remain in control and fully utilise their newly obtained power.I got this book after listening to a talk by the authors and have been extremely impressed both with their educational approach of utilising Copilot for an introductory course, as well as the way they've accomplished it in the book and the suggested activities within. I can't but help feeling that this is essentially the first book introducing a whole new profession of programming - one whereby even a junior programmer is no longer a "code monkey", but rather almost an engineering manager, being able to abstract away many of the implementation details and focus on the bigger picture of the system.I would highly recommend this book both to learners and to educators, and am eagerly awaiting to see how this novel approach will impact the way that we all think about software development.
