AI Engineering for Beginners is a practical introduction to the fundamentals of building applications with modern artificial intelligence.\nThis book takes you step by step through the core concepts of AI engineering, starting with Python fundamentals and large language models (LLMs), then moving into AI APIs, prompt and context engineering, embeddings, vector search, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, tool calling, evaluation, security, deployment, and cost management.\nYou will learn how the different parts of an AI application fit together and how to turn AI capabilities into useful software. The book also introduces a complete AI knowledge-assistant project and explains how to create an AI engineering portfolio that demonstrates what you can actually build.\nDesigned for beginners, this book focuses on practical understanding rather than trying to teach every AI technology at once. Start with the fundamentals, build small projects, learn from mistakes, and gradually develop the skills needed to build modern AI applications.
