You described an app to an AI and a few minutes later it was running: login screen, buttons, the lot. This is a practical guide for people who build software with AI coding tools but never studied computing or worked as a junior developer, and it starts from the things that tend to go wrong once real people rely on what you've made.
Version control, writing a proper spec, debugging from evidence, testing, databases, security, deployment and monitoring each turn up just as they start to matter. By the end you're working with coding agents as their lead rather than their audience, and you know when it's time to call in a specialist.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (223 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
