This hands-on guide shows you exactly how to integrate LLMs into production applications using Semantic Kernel and C#.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from the author's trial-and-error experiences, he walks you through proven patterns and workflows that work, from basic prompt engineering to building agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll learn how to enhance LLMs with external tools, implement RAG for grounding responses in your data, and orchestrate sophisticated AI workflows. Through practical examples and case studies, you'll master the essential techniques for building reliable, scalable AI applications that solve real business problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're adding AI capabilities to existing enterprise software or building new AI-native applications, this book provides the concrete patterns and battle-tested approaches you need to succeed with LLMs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the technology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking with different LLM providers and designing around brittle API endpoints are challenging problems on their own. Semantic Kernel provides a way to abstract away from the models and API endpoints and start thinking about smart application building blocks. In this book, you learn useful patterns and practices to get the most out of Large Language Models without solving all the challenging low-level problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for C# developers and software architects who want to use an LLM in their application to solve specific challenges that can't be solved with normal program logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding Large Language Models\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssential LLMOps knowledge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting Started with Semantic Kernel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe art and nonsense of prompt engineering\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eTesting and monitoring prompts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnhancing LLMs with tools\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetrieval augmented generation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking with structured output\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrompt chaining workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntelligent Request Routing Workflows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking with agents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47594792747159,"sku":"9798293167401","price":2130.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798293167401.webp?v=1774987188","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/building-effective-llm-based-applications-with-semantic-kernel-9798293167401","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
