Prerequisites

Students attending this class should have a grounding in Enterprise computing. While there’s no particular class to offer as a prerequisite, students attending this course should be from a somewhat technical background, and familiar with Enterprise IT, have a general (high-level) understanding of systems architecture, as well as some knowledge of the business drivers that might be able to take advantage of applying AI.

Basic knowledge of Python scripting is also helpful but not required. The hands-on labs in this course may leverage some basic Python scripts as needed, but the labs can be completed in a ‘follow-along’ format, under the guidance of the instructor. Prior experience with Python can be helpful but is not necessary.
