About this guide

This is a companion guide for the course Generative AI application design & development by Raj@ACloudFan.com

I structured this course based on my own experience learning Generative AI technology. Having faced the challenges firsthand, I designed this course to simplify the learning process. It’s tailored specifically for those without an AI/ML background, helping you quickly get up to speed with generative AI. Raj

  6. Prepare for intermediate-level technical interviews for roles in Generative AI
    Feel confident in your ability to handle interview questions related to generative AI concepts, application design, and development, preparing you for technical roles at an intermediate level.

What are prequisites for this course?

The first and foremost : You need to be hands-on as you will be installing and using tools to gain hands-on experience in building Generative AI applications.

Basic knowledge of Python programming:

You should be comfortable writing Python code, as this course involves coding and interacting with AI models via Python-based frameworks.

Familiarity with Jupyter Notebooks:

Experience using Jupyter Notebooks will be helpful, as much of the hands-on work will be done in this environment to interact with models and run code.

A personal machine (Windows, Linux, or Mac):

To run AI models and the associated tools, we recommend a machine with a minimum of 16 GB RAM. This ensures a smoother experience when handling AI workloads.

A stable internet connection: You’ll need decent internet to download tools, models, and datasets, and to access resources for the course.
