Program Structure (5 Quarters):
- Quarter 1: GenAI Essentials and Python Programming: We begin the course by understanding GenAI Essentials. We will help people across roles and industries get essential AI skills to boost their productivity. Then we will master the fundamentals of Python, the go-to language for GenAI and Cloud Native API development.
- Quarter 2: AI Powered Cloud Native Microservices Development: Build scalable AI Powered APIs using FastAPI, Postgres, Kafka, Kong, GenAI APIs like OpenAI Chat Completion APIs and Assistant APIs, and Open Source AI LLMs and deploy them using Docker containers.
- Quarter 3: Developing Custom GPTs and Multi AI Agent Systems: Learn to create custom AI models and GPTs using OpenAI, Azure, and Google technologies and integrate them with your Microservices. Use open source libraries, like crewAI, to automate repeatable, multi-step tasks and automate business processes that are typically done by a group of people and deploy them in containers.
- Quarter 4: Developing and Deploying Cloud Native AI and Business Intelligence: Master Kubernetes and Terraform to train Open Source Foundation LLMs using Fastai and PyTorch and deploy your AI models and applications in the cloud. Visualise data using Power BI.
- Quarter 5: Front-end Web GUI Development using Next.js and TypeScript: Next.js is designed to handle complex front-end applications well, making it a good fit for AI applications that might grow in features and data usage over time. Next.js offers features like API routes and file-based routing, which can streamline development for AI applications that need to interact with backend APIs and manage different application views. While Next.js and TypeScript aren't the only options for building AI application frontends, their focus on performance, scalability, and developer experience makes them a compelling choice for many developers.
Generative AI is set to revolutionise our daily lives and work environments. According to McKinsey & Company, generative AI could contribute an annual economic value of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion across various sectors by enhancing automation, bolstering decision-making, and providing personalised experiences. This revolution is pivotal for technology and job landscapes, making it essential knowledge in fast-evolving tech cycles. The rapid emergence of Gen AI-powered technologies and the evolving demand for skills necessitate extensive and timely professional training.
Cloud native is an approach in software development that enables application creation, deployment, and management in cloud environments. It involves constructing applications as a collection of small, interconnected services known as microservices, a shift from traditional monolithic structures. This modular approach enhances the agility of cloud-native applications, allowing them to operate more efficiently with fewer resources.
Technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, serverless containers, APIs, SQL Databases, and Kafka support developers in swiftly constructing cloud-native applications. These tools offer a standardised platform for application development and management across various cloud services like Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS.
