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 Technical books often become outdated soon after release, but since this book is self-published, I can update it as needed.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.
