Perks: Exclusive discounts on our recommended learning resources
Books, self-paced courses, learning platforms, and live courses.
Our mission is to teach you how to design, code, and deploy production-grade AI, GenAI, and information retrieval systems—built with ML systems, MLE, and MLOps best practices in mind.
We’re here to support the AI community, and one way we do that is by sharing a carefully selected list of learning resources. This includes books, live courses, self-paced programs, and learning platforms we recommend.
Our recommendations come from trusted people and companies we collaborate with through affiliate marketing. In the spirit of full transparency, here’s what that means:
You get access to exclusive discounts by using our affiliate links or codes.
We get a commission when you purchase through those links.

That said, quality is non-negotiable for us. We only partner with people and companies that meet or exceed the standards we hold ourselves to.
Every recommendation has one goal: to connect you with the best learning experiences to help you thrive in AI.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to level up, these resources support your journey. We’re excited to see what you accomplish!
Available Perks
Learning Platforms
CodeCrafters
This is a fantastic platform for learning or leveling up a new programming language such as Python, Rush, or C++. This platform is unique because it teaches you how to build tools (we all love) from scratch, such as Git, Docker, Kafka, and BitTorrent.
Along with learning the syntax of a programming language, you will also practice core SWE skills. Even senior engineers at Apple, NVIDIA, and Google use it to level up in software engineering. We also used it to learn Rust and loved it.
We are big advocates that a great AIE or MLE should also be a good SWE!

Books
LLM Engineer's Handbook
This is our hands-on book that teaches you a production-ready framework for building LLM and RAG apps.
It is a unique piece that walks you through a single end-to-end project (an LLM Twin - your digital AI replica), from collecting raw data to fine-tuning and deploying the LLM app to AWS using LLMOps best practices (the only way to learn to implement industry-level projects).
