Course Description

Learn everything you need to know about prompting as a Software Engineer with our comprehensive course on prompt engineering and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and master the art of crafting precise, powerful queries that will transform your language model's performance.

AI tools can make you a super software developer if you use them correctly. In this course, we will see the theoretical and practical aspects of how to craft special requests for AI in order to bypass its limitations.

Why is this course relevant?

AI tools will automate many tasks in our day to day lives. The labour market will differentiate between the people using AI and the ones who don't, since the productivity gap between the two categories will deepen as the tools will become more sophisticated.

With prompt engineering, you can position yourself ahead of the curve, gaining a competitive advantage in your professional and personal life. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into various industries, those who can effectively harness its capabilities will be highly sought after. This course will equip you with the necessary skills to excel in this evolving landscape.

What will you learn in this course?


  1. Foundational Concepts: Understand the basics of AI, language models, and how they work, so you can have an informed approach to prompt engineering.

  2. Prompt Engineering Techniques: Discover various strategies and techniques to craft effective prompts that maximize AI performance, including specificity, context, and iterative prompting.

  3. Customization and Optimization: Learn how to fine-tune prompts to suit specific tasks, industries, or applications, and optimize them for desired outcomes.

  4. RAG: Learn how to create retrieval-augmented generation tools with Llama and Gemini models.

  5. Bias Mitigation: Gain insights into AI biases and how to mitigate their impact while crafting prompts, ensuring your AI-driven solutions are fair and unbiased.

  6. Real-World Applications: Explore practical case studies and real-world scenarios to see how prompt engineering can enhance productivity and efficiency across various domains.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for professionals, students, and enthusiasts from various fields who want to leverage AI's potential to improve their work or personal lives. No prior experience in AI or programming is required, as the course is structured to cater to both beginners and advanced learners.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of prompt engineering and be equipped to use AI tools more effectively, making you an invaluable asset in the rapidly evolving AI-driven world.

Get ready to become a master in using the GPT models, or any large language model out there. With the prompting strategies that you will see in this course, you can easily perform the role of a software engineer, lawyer, social media star or even mathematician. All with the help of ChatGPT and other similar tools.

This course is intended for beginners and experienced tech-savvy people. You don't need programming experience, however, if you do code, buckle up as we are also going to build a chatbot mobile app using ReactNative and API behind ChatGPT. If not, don't worry! The course will teach you anything you need to know.

The couse was interesting, although i expected the tutor to do more justice in explaining the coding aspect of the course to the bearest minimum because of learners who havn't been in touch with anything coding

This presentation was very informative and well put together.

The course title says, "for software engineers", I did not find anything related to that. the course is outdated and most of the content is just basics that anyone knows.

By Abhishek Dubey on 4/26/2026

The pace of teaching and detail description help a reader to get clear knowledge about the topic.

By Steven R Turetzky on 9/29/2025

Yes, the material is teaching me what appears to be useful information about AI prompting. There are some significant revelations in this course, especially Self Evaluation prompting, that really resonated with me.

It is a very useful website for learning and building skills. The concepts of prompt engineering are easy to understand, and they are very helpful.

By Vishesh Mishra on 8/31/2024

i really love your course and if i didnt have financial i would have loved to buy your book too but for now i am very satisfied with this code and thanks a lot

By Lawrence Chelaru on 2/1/2024

Finally a concise course that touches most LLM subtleties in a profound manner. I recommend it.

By serdargunay@yahoo.com on 6/17/2023

The instructor's robotic teaching style made the course feel mechanical and lacking in human connection. The spread-out and complex concepts were challenging to digest and lacked a cohesive flow. Additionally, the information presented on the screen was often delivered at a ridiculously fast pace, making it difficult to catch and comprehend. As an AI language model, this review offers feedback on the need for improvements in the instructor's delivery, course structure, and pacing to enhance the learning experience.
