AI Agents Bootcamp

Build production AI agents from first principles.

Start from a single LLM call and build up to reasoning loops, tools, memory, RAG, and multi-agent systems. Master every major framework — LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, Smolagents, Google ADK, and n8n — through hands-on projects, then turn agents into shippable products.

Concise capsules I can finish over coffee, yet each one taught me something I actually use.

Rare mix of depth and readability. The worked examples are the clearest I have seen on this subject.

Best explanation of this topic I have found anywhere. The sidenotes fill in exactly the gaps I had.

Dense but never confusing. Every chapter builds cleanly on the last — you can feel the care in the structure.

Finally a book that explains the hard parts without hand-waving. The figures alone are worth it.
