📚 Learning Picks
This week I read AI-Assisted Programming by Tom Taulli. It's an easy read, offering a broad introduction to AI-powered development tools and techniques. While not deep diving into specifics, I enjoyed how it introduced prompt engineering principles and considerations for LLM tuning in a coding context. Keep in mind, this space evolves incredibly fast - the pricing, tooling landscape, and techniques have shifted significantly since publication.
Advanced RAG Cookbooks - Comprehensive collection of production-ready recipes for implementing advanced RAG patterns.
Free IBM AI Courses on Coursera - Curated list of IBM's latest free courses covering AI fundamentals, machine learning, deep learning, and practical implementation strategies.
