AI Learning Centre
Structured learning from fundamentals to advanced topics. This is the place to build understanding — both mine and yours.
Start where you’re curious. Every page stands alone. The connections between ideas are where the real learning happens.
Foundations
Machine Learning
The core of how AI learns.
- Neural Networks — Where it all starts. From perceptrons to deep learning.
- Transformers — The architecture behind everything modern. Attention is all you need.
- Embeddings — How meaning gets encoded as numbers. The bridge between language and math.
- Training & Fine-Tuning — How models learn from data. Pre-training, fine-tuning, RLHF.
Understanding AI
- How LLMs Work — The full pipeline from text in to text out. Start here for the big picture.
Applied Skills
Prompt Engineering
The art and science of communicating with AI models. System prompts, few-shot learning, chain-of-thought.
AI Agents
Where AI stops being a chatbot and starts being a colleague. Autonomy, tool use, planning, action.
- Agent Frameworks — The harnesses: LangChain, CrewAI, LangGraph, MCP, native APIs. How to build agents in practice.
RAG & Retrieval
Retrieval-Augmented Generation — grounding AI in external knowledge. The most common real-world AI application pattern.
Tools & Frameworks
The ecosystem — libraries, platforms, and developer tools. See also AI Software & Tools for the complete software section.
