Beyond Vibe Coding redefines what it means to build software in the age of generative intelligence. Authored by Dr. David W. Liao, this groundbreaking book guides readers through the next evolution of AI-powered development—from the creativity of Vibe Coding to the structure of Agentic Coding and the rigor of Specification-Driven Development (SDD).
Combining accessible explanations with hands-on projects and practical frameworks, the book shows how developers can collaborate with intelligent agents, design verifiable specifications, and deliver production-grade systems that are reliable, transparent, and ethically grounded.
Readers will explore real-world workflows using tools such as GitHub Spec Kit, Amazon Kiro, Fission AI’s OpenSpec, and the BMAD Method, gaining the skills to move seamlessly from conversational prototyping to agent-orchestrated deployment.
Both a roadmap and a manifesto, Beyond Vibe Coding empowers engineers, educators, and innovators to build a future where human creativity and AI precision work in harmony—turning intent into trustworthy, intelligent software.
