Generative AI with LangChain
What if you want to run the AI models yourself on your own machine? This is possible with open source models!
We will explore Hugging face and it's APIs and open source models for local LLM apps:
Local embeddings
Translation models
Text models
Voice models
Image models
Since all the used libraries are build with TypeScript and offer great TS support, the course also contains a TypeScript recap section:
TypeScript type aliases
The TypeScript compiler
Functions, special types, any and unknown
Enums and the never type
TypeScript generics
TypeScript classes
...and many more features.
Course advantages:
Beyond the basics - after finish, you can directly use this knowledge into production code
Practical knowledge - presentations are kept to a minimum, we focus on what is really important
Logical and flexible structure - take the course at your own pace
Fast paced, concise, most typing cut out - focus on explanations - respect for your time
Big font, dark background, full HD content, this way it is readable even on a small screen or even tablet.
Lifetime access
Certificate of completion to present to your current or prospective employer

Alex Dan — Cloud Architect, Developer & Instructor
With over a decade of hands-on software engineering experience, I've built my career at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, web development, and practical education.
My technical journey started in embedded automotive systems — developing Java-based navigation solutions for major car brands. From there, I moved into cloud engineering, building AWS-powered data pipelines for connected vehicles using Node.js, TypeScript, Lambda, DynamoDB, and a full suite of AWS services. I later worked as a Node.js developer at one of Eastern Europe's largest e-commerce platforms, before transitioning into independent cloud architecture consulting.
Today, as a freelance Cloud Architect, I design and implement scalable cloud solutions across industries — from automotive to enterprise — with a focus on infrastructure reliability, CI/CD automation, and modern serverless architectures.
Parallel to my engineering career, I've been teaching on Udemy since 2017, growing a community of over 300,000 students across 19 courses. My current focus is AI-assisted development — helping developers work smarter with tools like GitHub Copilot, VS Code AI extensions, and agentic coding workflows.

This course has helped me a lot in understanding core concepts of integrating AI to web applications. Greatly detailed tutorial which has all the basic for us to further build complex solutions based on AI. Thanks a lot for making this awesome tutorial
By Facundo Brusa on 12/8/2025
The professor explained the different concepts in a way that seemed very easy to understand and provided examples for each section. I would say this is a basic AI course.
By Szymon Morawski on 9/8/2025
A nice, short catch-up course, that shows how and where you should start your adventure with AI. Couple of sections were outdated, but I fully understand that it is hard to keep it fresh, as the field is constantly growing and changing.
By Onur Değerli on 8/1/2025
The course content is good for beginners who want to gain experience in AI. Just apply every piece of the code, and you will get an understanding of the next step in your roadmap. For the outdated content, your answer is the Q/A section, ChatGPT, and Google.
By Artem Gilmanov on 7/18/2025
The course effectively covers the core functionalities of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search within the LangGraph library while providing a solid overview of modern LLM API calls. The inclusion of a dedicated section on TypeScript was particularly helpful. As an introductory course, it accelerated my learning curve and gave me a strong foundation in the topic. To further reinforce the material, a small hands-on project applying the concepts would be a valuable addition.

!Excellent course! I was looking for a typescript course with langchain and I couldn't find it, until I came across this one and it didn't disappoint me, in fact, it surprised me and gave me the tools I was looking for, and being a Latin developer, it wasn't difficult for me to keep up with it and understand it, its modularity when speaking made it "easy" to follow the course, I recommend it
By Narayan maity on 7/4/2025
This is a very good introductory course for Generative AI. The reason I am not giving a 5-star rating is that in this course, some of the videos need to be updated. Although I added a question and answer where I feel that this lecture is too outdated, so other new learners don't face the same problem. One suggestion, Alex, please update the course.
By H d M on 10/12/2024
at first i didn't like that 2 hours of the course were dedicated to typescript, this topic seemed to me disconnected with the course content/purpose. but when i went through the course i really liked the examples and explanations the author gave. he demonstrated great knowledge on the topic and tried to explain as simple as possible the topics introduced in each lesson. after this course you will see the power of OpenAI API and the endless possibilities that you can create with it.
By Sumit Govil on 6/19/2024
The absolute go to course if you are overwhelmed with the AI buzzwords and want to understand what is chromaDB, pinecone, hugging face, langchain, embeddings, vector databases etc. However, this isn't a deep dive course by any means.
By Crock Saunders on 3/18/2024
This has been an good training. I've taken other courses on Langchain, but this one offers real context and thorough explanations. This is the only decent choice if you want to explore AI outside the world of Python and into JavaScript/Typescritp and Node. One difficulty is in the later sections with the more advanced app, but I guess that is how it is. Well structured and knowledgeable instructor. Thanks!
