Use LLMs to build better business software applications
Autonomously communicate with users and optimize business tasks with applications built to make the interaction between humans and computers smooth and natural. Artificial Intelligence expert Francesco Esposito illustrates several scenarios for which a LLM is effective: crafting sophisticated business solutions, shortening the gap between humans and software-equipped machines, and building powerful reasoning engines. Insight into prompting and conversational programming―with specific techniques for patterns and frameworks―unlock how natural language can also lead to a new, advanced approach to coding. Concrete end-to-end demonstrations (featuring Python and ASP.NET Core) showcase versatile patterns of interaction between existing processes, APIs, data, and human input.
Artificial Intelligence expert Francesco Esposito helps you:
- Understand the history of large language models and conversational programming
- Apply prompting as a new way of coding
- Learn core prompting techniques and fundamental use-cases
- Engineer advanced prompts, including connecting LLMs to data and function calling to build reasoning engines
- Use natural language in code to define workflows and orchestrate existing APIs
- Master external LLM frameworks
- Evaluate responsible AI security, privacy, and accuracy concerns
- Explore the AI regulatory landscape
- Build and implement a personal assistant
- Apply a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pattern to formulate responses based on a knowledge base
- Construct a conversational user interface
For IT Professionals and Consultants
- For software professionals, architects, lead developers, programmers, and Machine Learning enthusiasts

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
