Course - Introduction to Prompt Engineering
Since we had a Roche internal AI Training (6 lections), the presented majority content was a good sum-up, however, personally I did learn something new in this training session, which was to counter back the prompt, so the AI program has to ask you about possible questions regarding to this specific topic.
