Course Outline

Introduction to LangGraph and Graph Concepts

  • Rationale for using graphs in LLM apps: orchestration versus simple chains
  • Nodes, edges, and state in LangGraph
  • LangGraph basics: creating the first runnable graph

State Management and Prompt Chaining

  • Designing prompts as graph nodes
  • Passing state between nodes and managing outputs
  • Memory patterns: distinguishing between short-term and persisted context

Branching, Control Flow, and Error Handling

  • Conditional routing and multi-path workflows
  • Strategies for retries, timeouts, and fallbacks
  • Ensuring idempotency and enabling safe re-executions

Tools and External Integrations

  • Implementing function/tool calling within graph nodes
  • Invoking REST APIs and services within the graph
  • Handling structured outputs

Retrieval-Augmented Workflows

  • Basics of document ingestion and chunking
  • Embeddings and vector stores (e.g., ChromaDB)
  • Generating grounded answers with citations

Testing, Debugging, and Evaluation

  • Writing unit-style tests for nodes and paths
  • Utilizing tracing and observability tools
  • Conducting quality checks: factuality, safety, and determinism

Packaging and Deployment Fundamentals

  • Setting up environments and managing dependencies
  • Deploying graphs behind APIs
  • Versioning workflows and executing rolling updates

Summary and Next Steps

Requirements

  • Familiarity with basic Python programming
  • Experience with REST APIs or CLI tools
  • Understanding of LLM concepts and fundamental prompt engineering techniques

Audience

  • Developers and software engineers who are new to graph-based LLM orchestration
  • Prompt engineers and AI newcomers developing multi-step LLM applications
  • Data professionals exploring workflow automation with LLMs
