AI+ Developers Workbook
Practice companion to AI+ Software Developers
Practice companion to T2-26.
The frameworks are in your head. This is how they get into your hands.
You read AI+ Software Developers and starred every framework. Then you went back to pasting functions into a chat window and committing whatever looked plausible. This workbook closes that gap: 40 exercises on your own code, three calibration drills that train you to catch confident-but-wrong AI output, and the habit of verifying and SHIP-checking before you commit. Built by an AI engineering firm for developers who want the frameworks in their hands, not just their heads.
- 40 exercises on your own code — prompting, refactoring, testing, debugging, review, and agents, week by week.
- Three calibration drills that train you to catch the confident-but-wrong function, refactor, and unsafe paste.
- TRUST-for-code, made routine — compile, run, tests pass, does the thing, real APIs, before every commit.
- The SHIP check as a reflex — classify code and data before it ever enters a prompt.
- A real agent workflow — one multi-file task run end to end under the Agent Engagement Loop.
Professional software developers who have read (or are reading) AI+ Software Developers (T2-26) and want to convert its frameworks into habit against their own code, repository, and stack. Two to fifteen years' experience across web, mobile, backend, data, and tooling; already using at least one AI coding tool opportunistically.
Also for:Tech leads and engineering managers running the workbook as a team CPD programme; bootcamp and continuing-education cohorts pairing it with the parent book.
- Has applied the Developer Prompt Toolkit and PRISM to real recurring development tasks — code generation, review, tests, debugging, documentation, commit messages — across four weeks
- Has applied TRUST-for-code (compile, run, tests pass, does the thing, follows style, real APIs) to evaluate AI-generated code before committing, and caught seeded failures in calibration drills
- Has applied the SHIP Protocol to classify real code and development data before AI interaction
- Has run a real multi-step task with an AI coding agent using the Agent Engagement Loop (Scope → Brief → Review → Iterate → Verify)
- Has produced a personal AI coding practice and safety baseline grounded in their own stack and repository
