Natural language interfaces can enhance software functionality by enabling #AI to interact with external tools and APIs. In this code-along, we'll explore GPT-4o's function calling capabilities, allowing AI to execute actions in traditional #software environments. By the end of this session, you'll have a functional system where GPT-4o can seamlessly interact with external functions, providing dynamic and automated software interactions using natural language: https://bit.ly/43QEmpz

Happy to share that I'll be working on a new book with O'Reilly, focused on the principles of designing financial data architectures. The book will cover topics such as: 1️⃣ An introduction to the financial data ecosystem and financial data management 2️⃣ An introduction to financial data architectures 3️⃣ Financial data modeling 4️⃣ Financial data governance 5️⃣ Data architectures for operational financial systems 6️⃣ Data architectures for financial analytical systems Chapters will be released incrementally on the O’Reilly platform as part of the Early Release program—stay tuned for updates! #dataarchitecture #finance #fintech

On May 29 at 11 a.m. ET, join Alistair Croll and leading experts for an immersive event that explores #GenAI at the cutting edge, and discover its transformative impact on #DataAnalysis. You'll learn how AI-powered tools are automating data tasks, generating clear insights, building predictive models, and creating stunning visualizations—bringing data to all for better business decisions: https://lnkd.in/g6Xv9dDM

🐋Congratuations to my friend Suhas Pai on the release of his book "Designing Large Language Model Applications" (O'Reilly) In this book, Suhas guides the reader through a comprehensive overview of fundamentals, as well as draws on his rich experience to guide the reader through the newest battle-tested techniques. The timeliness of this practical book will be very useful for a whole new generation of LLM builders. I'm honored to have been a technical reviewer of the book throughout the process. Along with Serena M - also a friend and technical reviewer - we snapped a celebratory photo with a foggy CN Tower as a backdrop! Get the book here: https://lnkd.in/gQcDtDrB

𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁! 𝗜'𝗺 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿, O'Reilly, 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘆. 🧠 All of us experimenting with and deploying these technologies know that we are still in the early days. I heard someone compare the current tools to dial-up modems at the dawn of the Internet. I think this is true. There are so many things left to figure out—edge cases, integrations, testing, and security. I'll share my experience in this session, and I'm looking forward to hearing the students' stories. Note: This will be a more technical session than usual from me, and experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) is highly recommended to get the most out of it.

This month, on 4/22, Tech Skills Transformations and O'Reilly are bringing you an updated course on containers, Docker, and Kubernetes - Containers Fundamentals. Five hours (4-9 pm EDT) and seven hands-on labs to understand what containers are, how they work, what Kubernetes is, how it works, and how to use it from the ground up. More details and signup available at https://lnkd.in/eCZaXXJR ! #Kubernetes #Containers #Docker

I’m workshopping a new idea for my talk at the O'Reilly Coding with AI conference this May, and I keep coming back to this: AI is really good at applying knowledge. But software development isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about skill, design, and judgment. At the same time, AI tools are getting better and better at writing code. So where’s the line between knowledge and skill? I don’t think it’s where most people assume it is. That’s not meant to be an engagement-grubbing hot take (ugh). I just think there’s something deeper here, and I want to spend some time thinking through it. And I figured a few folks here might be interested in seeing that process unfold. I don’t have answers yet—but I’m working on them. 🧠 Catch the talk May 8 at the O’Reilly Coding with AI: The End of Software Development as We Know It event: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e-_Umvr5

Just found out (via Tomasz Szymanski) that the O'Reilly "Programming #Scala" book by Dean Wampler has a Tapir on the cover (since 2009!) Destiny! ;)

Building platforms that actually get used? It starts with a product mindset. On April 23, Rob Zuber is hosting a live Superstream with O'Reilly, joined by product leaders who’ve seen the real impact of aligning platform strategy with how great products are built! Swipe through to meet them ➡️
