Introduction

Many beginner resources stop at concepts or isolated API calls. This course walks from foundations into app patterns such as chat, search, images, agents, RAG, lifecycle, security, and fine-tuning.

What Sets It Apart

Lessons mix conceptual explanations with Python and TypeScript examples, helping learners connect model behavior to application structure. The sequence mirrors how builders mature from prompts to retrieval, agents, UX, and operational concerns.

Who Should Use It

Great fit for developers who know programming and need a guided path into generative AI apps. Look elsewhere for research-level model internals, production evaluation systems, or advanced infrastructure tuning.
