Course details
Until quite recently, generative AI has mostly been done by Python developers because Python is the main language used for AI research. However, with the increasing maturity of AI models and services, it’s time for .NET developers to integrate generative AI into real-world applications—from desktop to the web. Learn the fundamental skills required for configuring OpenAI and Azure OpenAI and creating a fully functioning chat bot. Along the way, instructor András Velvárt demonstrates practical coding tips and best practices for moderation and safety.
