Mastering AI-Powered Software Development: From Single Agents to Full-Stack Automation

By Daniel Hart

Software development is entering a new era one where AI systems don't just assist with code, but actively participate in planning, building, testing, and shipping software. Mastering AI-Powered Software Development: From Single Agents to Full-Stack Automation is a practical guide to understanding and applying this shift. It explains how modern engineering teams are moving from human-only workflows to agent-driven development, where AI operates with intent, structure, and accountability across entire codebases.
This book goes beyond surface-level automation and hype. It shows how AI coding agents reason across repositories, generate multi-file changes, refactor legacy systems, write and validate tests, and support full-stack delivery. You'll learn how to design workflows where agents operate safely under human oversight using diffs, approvals, logging, and governance so speed never comes at the expense of quality or control.
Starting with single-agent workflows, the book gradually introduces more advanced patterns such as parallel multi-agent development, task delegation, and repo-wide reasoning. Real-world engineering constraints are addressed throughout, including version control discipline, security boundaries, debugging failures, and preventing hallucinations or context drift. Each chapter focuses on practical techniques you can apply immediately, whether you're working solo or leading a team.
You'll also explore how AI agents integrate across the full development lifecycle: backend services, frontend interfaces, testing pipelines, documentation, and deployment automation. The book covers emerging interaction modes such as browser-connected context, voice-driven commands, and live execution environments, showing how engineers can orchestrate complex systems rather than manually implementing every detail.
Written for developers, technical leads, architects, and founders, this book assumes real-world experience with software development but no prior expertise in AI tooling. If you want to stay effective in an AI-first engineering landscape and learn how to direct intelligent agents instead of competing with them, Mastering AI-Powered Software Development provides the clarity, structure, and practical insight to help you do exactly that.
