1/2 day course 
Supporting material 
Private This course is for marketing professionals who want to get more hands-on with the tech behind their use of GenAI. Using Python within Jupyter Notebooks to complete tasks, you’ll learn how to harness your code and take your tools to the next level.
During the session, we’ll introduce the Python language and Google Colaboratory, an open-source, collaborative and free web-based platform where you can run Python code and build various data services such as data ingestion, processing and visualisations.
We’ll then cover Python’s advanced capabilities, working in libraries like Pandas and NumPy, which are a key part of any toolset required by data analysts and scientists for complex modelling.
Towards the end of the session, we introduce Generative AI tools and resources. We present different ways to consume these services, focusing specifically on APIs. You’ll also be able to run code to interact with some of the most popular LLMs, (such as Gemini, Stable Diffusion, and Llama-2, among others) generating text, images and asking questions to these powerful models.
This Coding for AI course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom or at a location of your choice in South Africa.
