Unlock the full potential of AI-native software development with AI-Powered Software Development with Claude Code + Cursor—a groundbreaking guide that redefines how modern engineers build, refactor, test, and scale software using Claude 3+ and the Cursor IDE.

In this definitive, hands-on book, you’ll learn not just how to prompt Claude—but how to architect a practical, structured, and scalable AI-powered development workflow from scratch. This isn’t just another AI coding assistant guide. It’s a deeply technical, highly actionable manual for developers who want to integrate large language models directly into their everyday development environment and ship faster, cleaner, and more intelligent code.

Whether you're a solo builder or a member of a fast-moving engineering team, this book

How to set up Claude inside Cursor and configure it for optimal reasoning, context size, and structured development assistance

Battle-tested prompt engineering techniques tailored for UI components, API routes, test generation, full-stack scaffolding, and more

Methods for automating repetitive workflows such as changelog updates, CI configuration, environment scripting, and codebase-wide refactors

Best practices for using Claude as a teammate, not just a tool—through shared team prompts, onboarding explainers, and intelligent code reviews

Strategies for using Claude to debug across files, generate domain-aware documentation, and enforce architectural consistency

Secure deployment patterns and Claude-aware CI/CD integrations, including environment isolation, proxy routing, and version-aware automation

Complete appendices filled with reusable Claude prompt recipes, Cursor power features, and AI build-ready project templates

This book goes far beyond autocomplete. It shows you how to design entire systems with natural language, automate intelligent code transformations, and build collaborative development environments where Claude acts as an always-on engineering partner—from first commit to production deployment.

Whether you're building SaaS platforms, modern frontends, API backends, or cross-functional tools, this book equips you with everything you need to take your team from manual development to AI-native velocity.

If you’re serious about building software in the age of intelligent tooling, AI-Powered Software Development with Claude Code + Cursor is your blueprint.
