Ask HN: Where should an experienced developer start learning AI development?

For an experienced software developer looking to get started in AI development. What online courses would you recommend for someone entering this area of development today?

Any guidance on where to begin or which areas to focus on would be greatly appreciated. While I prefer online courses, I’m also open to other learning formats like books, YouTube channels, or tutorials.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

      Both sounds good but developing for ai such as GPT wrapper sounds more beginner-friendly. Thank you

    As a developer, my first step was to take an online class on how to prompt for chat gpt et el.

    My second class is on to go agentic AI (calling AI from a program).

    I recently attended a short presentation on RAG (ask Chat GPT). This filled in a lot of holes in my brain about LLMs.
