A series of mini-courses from beginner to advanced to help you learn practical topics in modern AI engineering. Each course is short, easy to understand, and includes real-world examples, clear visuals, and extra reading materials. It is the fastest way to master what you actually need on the job.
| Category | Modules | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fundamentals | 1-7 | LLMs, training, RAG, tools, memory, agents, multi-agent systems.Start here. |
| [NOT READY] Intermediate | 8-14 | Prompt engineering, context engineering, coding agents, harness engineering, security, loop engineering, personal agents. |
| [NOT READY] Expert | 15-23 | Advanced UI, architectures, tools, memory, multi-agent, prompting, context engineering, harness engineering, deployment. |
| [NOT READY] Ecosystem | 24-28 | Agent frameworks, inference providers, inference engines, UI design, observability. |
| [NOT READY] Protocols & Specs | 29 | A single reference of every protocol and spec mentioned across the series. |
| [NOT READY] Optional | 30-31 | Human-in-the-loop and runtime topics that round out the series. |
- Start with Fundamentals to learn must-know concepts in AI Engineering.
- Move on to Intermediate to build your core skills.
- Jump to Ecosystem to learn the tools and frameworks needed to become a well-rounded AI engineer.
🎉 Congrats! You are now an AI engineer. You can now build your own AI agents and systems.
