Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - You know how to write software. You don't need another AI book that treats you like a ChatGPT tourist - and you definitely don't need one that opens with linear algebra.LLMs for Software Engineers is the missing middle: a complete, math-free explanation of how large language models actually work, written specifically for developers who want to build real applications with them - not derive backpropagation by hand.Using analogies you already understand from years of writing software - database joins, caching, lexers, hash maps, distributed systems - this book gives you genuine, durable mental models for the concepts every AI-adjacent engineering role now assumes you know: - How tokens, embeddings, and the transformer's attention mechanism actually work - no calculus required- The real difference between training and inference, and why a model can't 'just learn' from your conversation- How to build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that ground LLM output in your own data- When to reach for prompting, RAG, or fine-tuning - and why treating them as interchangeable wastes time and money- How agents and function calling actually work under the hood, and how to build them reliably- Why hallucinations happen, and the concrete engineering mitigations that actually reduce them- How to evaluate LLM outputs, manage cost and latency, and defend against prompt injection in production systemsEvery chapter ends with a practical 'What This Means for You' takeaway, and a full glossary at the back means you can use this book as a working reference long after you've read it cover to cover.If you've been putting off learning 'the AI stuff' because every resource you've found is either a ChatGPT tutorial or a machine learning PhD textbook, this is the book that was actually missing.…
