19 may 2024: I’ve updated all the code to use the .invoke() method for chains instead of .call(). The .call() method will be deprecated in future versions of LangChain.

What prerequisites do I need to have before taking this course?

The examples use Next.js and React. You don’t need to be an expert but you will need a very basic understanding of how React works.

Is the learning material up-to-date?

LangChain is currently undergoing rapid development. Technical books often become outdated soon after release, but since this book is self-published, I can update it as needed. I aim to provide monthly updates.
