Overview of this book

AI-Assisted Programming for Web and Machine Learning shows you how to build applications and machine learning models and automate repetitive tasks. Part 1 focuses on coding, from building a user interface to the backend. You’ll use prompts to create the appearance of an app using HTML, styling with CSS, adding behavior with JavaScript, and working with multiple viewports. Next, you’ll build a web API with Python and Flask and refactor the code to improve code readability. Part 1 ends with using GitHub Copilot to improve the maintainability and performance of existing code. Part 2 provides a prompting toolkit for data science from data checking (inspecting data and creating distribution graphs and correlation matrices) to building and optimizing a neural network. You’ll use different prompt strategies for data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, training, hyperparameter optimization, and model evaluation for various machine learning models and use cases. The book closes with chapters on advanced techniques on GitHub Copilot and software agents. There are tips on code generation, debugging, and troubleshooting code. You’ll see how simpler and AI-powered agents work and discover tool calling.

Prompt strategy

In this chapter, you will see how we use both Copilot Chat and the in-editor mode. We will start with the Chat mode as it’s quite useful for situations where you want to generate starter code. It’s also quite efficient in that it lets you select certain lines of code and lets you update only those based on a prompt. Examples of the latter could be when you want to improve such code. You will see this use case later in the chapter when we improve a route to read from a database instead of reading static data from a list. There will also be cases in this chapter where we use the in-editor mode. This is the recommended approach when you’re actively typing the code and want to make smaller tweaks. In this chapter, we will use the “Exploratory prompt pattern” as described in Chapter 2.
