It’s been a while since my last post - I’ve been heads down working on some exciting projects, and now I’m ready to share! My latest interest has been in AI engineering, specifically building LLM-powered applications like chatbots and "agents." At its core, it’s still software development, but the possibilities unlocked by modern LLMs are incredible. (To clarify, I’m not talking about using AI to write code - that’s a whole separate can of worms.) Because this field is evolving so quickly, it can be tough to know where to start. To help, I’m working on three related initiatives: 1. A new book! Yes, another book, this time on AI engineering. (Not DSA, can you believe it?) Like my previous works, it’ll be published by The Pragmatic Programmers, and I’m already more than halfway done. The Beta version is coming soon, and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s shaping up - it really flattens the learning curve of this tricky subject. As an aside, I’ll be putting out a call for tech reviewers soon. If you’re an AI engineer, or a developer new to AI, and want to get involved, please DM me. 2. A revised Actualize curriculum! Our next cohort (September 14) will feature a strong focus on AI engineering. It’s still designed for brand new coders, teaching coding and web dev fundamentals, but now about one-third of the curriculum is dedicated to building LLM-powered apps. More details can be found on the Actualize website: https://actualize.co 3. An AI engineering course for current software engineers! If you’re already a software developer and want to break into building LLM-powered applications, this short, live course is for you. We’re planning to start in late October, with six live sessions (which will also be recorded). Help shape the curriculum by filling out this survey: https://lnkd.in/eqU6662h I’m excited to share more updates as these projects progress. Stay tuned! Best, Jay
