LangChain in Action
LangChain in Action demystifies the most complex techniques of building LLM-based applications, including deploying open-source LLMs locally and fine-tuning them for specific applications. You’ll start from the ground up: LLM architecture, how to adapt them to your needs, and the advanced prompt engineering techniques you’ll need to succeed. From there, you’ll quickly move on to developing effective LLM-powered projects—from a simple tool to summarize documents, to a research assistant that can reliably use the web, a semantic search chatbot, and implementing advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation.
Building Ethereum Dapps
Building Ethereum Dapps teaches Dapps development on the Ethereum blockchain platform. You’ll begin with a mental model of how Dapps operate, and then dive into designing and implementing smart contracts in Ethereum’s Solidity language. You’ll explore Ethereum smart contract development tools, like Truffle and Web3, and pick up best practices for design and security. Practical exercises throughout give you valuable hands-on experience.
