This course is a brilliant deep dive into how to collaborate with AI for software and system design. Laurence Moroney’s expertise and passion for AI make even complex topics feel approachable and highly relevant. The course emphasizes using AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), to guide software architecture design and apply advanced design patterns, improving both code quality and maintainability. One of the highlights was learning how to design software applications with AI insights and apply Gang of Four design patterns using LLMs. The hands-on labs were challenging but rewarding, pushing me to rethink traditional software design approaches and explore how AI can drive more efficient system design. Laurence’s approach ensures you leave with practical, real-world skills, like configuration-driven development and leveraging AI for code optimization. For anyone looking to elevate their software architecture design process and integrate AI into their development workflow, this course is a must. Highly recommended for developers seeking to boost their design capabilities with AI-driven insights!

I recently completed this course, and I found it to be an excellent resource for software engineers. The course effectively covers essential concepts of generative AI and its practical applications in software development. One of the highlights was learning prompt techniques to maximize the utility of large language models (LLMs). The hands-on exercises allowed me to practice pair-coding with LLMs, which significantly improved my coding efficiency. I highly recommend this course to software engineers looking to enhance their skills and stay competitive in the tech landscape. It provides a great blend of theory and practical application, equipping participants with valuable tools for daily development tasks.

Definitively a recommended course. I like that the specialization is rounded by looking on system Design Patterns. Unfortunately these are restricted to OO Patterns. Nowadays I would like to have seen a little bit about designing distributed system, which is more and more the very nature of modern software systems.

Finally, after all these years, the typical object oriented programming patterns coursework in college was taught by Laurence in a way that i understood and was a lot more fun than i thought it would be when i started learning this course. Thanks much!

course exceeded all of my expectations! From start to finish, it provided a perfect blend of theoretical concepts and hands-on practical applications.

Short but informative course that gives insights how to collaborate with the LLMs in designing software and overall brainstorming

interactive and practical, hard to solve even with ai that is the objective!!! :D

Unclear lab instructions

Very insightful course that I would definitely recommend to everyone. This specialization highlights effective ways to utilize LLMs and enhance the quality of coding. It demonstrates how LLMs are useful tools and that they could by no means replace a software developer but augment human creativity. Laurence Moroney is an exceptional instructor who made the course a very educational and exciting journey to the world of software development empowered by LLMs.

Master IA & Big Data avec une experience en IA générative sur des LLM, ce cours est très basique et ne vous sera utile que vous revoir des bases, il peut valoir la penne pour la partie CDD si vous n'êtes pas à l'aise avec la création de projet sur comment faut il le pensé côté client.

This course gave me valuable insights into the daily tasks of a developer and showed me how LLMs can be invaluable as pair programmers and consultants. Laurence's lessons were particularly inspiring and sparked many ideas.

The contents themselves are great and well explained. Lawrence is an awesome instructor. This course is way too easy for experienced developers who have already been using LLMs in their day-to-day tasks.

This journey into leveraging LLMs for software development has been eye-opening, equipping me with strategies to enhance workflow, boost productivity, and build robust, quality-focused software.

Great course! I'm a bit unsatisfied for the grading assignments that are somewhat obscure: I spent more time in understanding what was requested to do than in doing it.

Rest of the course was good. But the Fix social network database task was ridiculous. No clear instructions. Wasted lot of time just trying to figure out what is to be done.
