ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers is a free beginner course from DeepLearning.AI, online. It's free for a limited time. It takes about 1.5 hours and ends with a paid certificate.
Written for developers with basic Python who want to call the OpenAI API rather than use a chat window. At under two hours, it's a quick, hands-on way to summarize, classify, translate and build a simple chatbot in notebooks. Note that free access is only for a limited time during the platform beta, and the certificate needs Pro membership. To practice the same skills with Claude, try the Prompt Engineering Interactive Tutorial from Anthropic.
