Paperback. Software Engineering with AI Coding AgentsAI coding agents can generate code in seconds-but how do you make sure that code is correct, secure, maintainable, and actually ready for production?If you understand the basics of software development but feel unsure about bringing AI coding agents into real projects, this book gives you a practical path forward.Software Engineering with AI Coding Agents takes you beyond autocomplete, isolated prompts, and impressive-looking generated code. Instead, you will learn how to build reliable AI-assisted software development workflows in which coding agents can inspect repositories, make bounded changes, run tests, respond to feedback, work with Git, and contribute safely to modern software delivery.You do not need previous experience with autonomous coding agents, agent frameworks, or advanced AI concepts. The material develops progressively, helping you build confidence one engineering practice at a time. Mistakes are treated as useful signals-not failures to fear-and each chapter turns complex ideas into practical habits you can apply to real or sample repositories.Key FeaturesPractical, tool-neutral guidance that remains useful as AI products evolveReal-world approaches to repository readiness and context engineeringVerification-first methods for testing and reviewing AI-generated codeSecure permission boundaries, sandboxing, and human approval controlsGit, pull request, CI/CD, deployment, and observability workflowsPractical exercises, checklists, templates, and reference materialA disciplined approach to increasing agent autonomy safelyWhat You Will LearnYou will discover how to: Prepare software repositories for reliable AI-assisted developmentGive coding agents precise, relevant, and maintainable contextTurn vague requirements into bounded, verifiable engineering tasksGenerate code without losing architectural intent or maintainabilityUse tests, type checking, static analysis, and CI as deterministic feedbackProtect secrets, dependencies, infrastructure, and production environmentsReview AI-generated diffs and integrate changes safely through GitBuild controlled CI/CD and deployment workflowsScale agentic development across teams with governance and measurable outcomesWho This Book Is ForThis book is ideal for developers, backend and full-stack engineers, software architects, DevOps and platform engineers, technical leads, engineering managers, and other software professionals who already understand basic programming and development workflows but are new to AI coding agents and agentic software development.Table of ContentsChapter 1 - Engineering for Agentic Software DevelopmentChapter 2 - Building Agent-Ready Software RepositoriesChapter 3 - Context Engineering for Coding AgentsChapter 4 - Specifications and Agent-Executable Task DesignChapter 5 - Reliable AI-Assisted Code GenerationChapter 6 - Verification-First EngineeringChapter 7 - Security, Permissions, and Execution BoundariesChapter 8 - Git, Code Review, and Controlled IntegrationChapter 9 - CI/CD and AI-Assisted Software DeliveryChapter 10 - Scaling Agentic Development Across Engineering TeamsAI coding agents become far more useful when they operate inside strong engineering boundaries.

AI coding agents can generate code in seconds—but how do you make sure that code is correct, secure, maintainable, and actually ready for production?
If you understand the basics of software development but feel unsure about bringing AI coding agents into real projects, this book gives you a practical path forward.
Software Engineering with AI Coding Agents takes you beyond autocomplete, isolated prompts, and impressive-looking generated code. Instead, you will learn how to build reliable AI-assisted software development workflows in which coding agents can inspect repositories, make bounded changes, run tests, respond to feedback, work with Git, and contribute safely to modern software delivery.
You do not need previous experience with autonomous coding agents, agent frameworks, or advanced AI concepts. The material develops progressively, helping you build confidence one engineering practice at a time. Mistakes are treated as useful signals—not failures to fear—and each chapter turns complex ideas into practical habits you can apply to real or sample repositories.
