It's a book written with love. The author spent a lot of time organizing a large amount of information that, although it is publicly available, is not well organized on the Llama Index site. It was a great tool to advance my understanding of that RAG framework.

A comprehensive and understandable introduction to LlamaIndex.

Om S May 31, 2024

I mean, if you're into building AI-driven apps, "Building Data-Driven Applications with LlamaIndex" by Andrei Gheorghiu is the guide you've been waiting for. This book is a practical roadmap to enhancing your Python apps using the LlamaIndex for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Starting with basic LLM (Large Language Model) concepts, it swiftly moves into more complex applications like chatbots and dynamic knowledge bases.The guide excels in explaining how to set up the LlamaIndex ecosystem, ingest and index diverse data sources, and tailor queries for optimal results. It's pretty cool how it lays out step-by-step instructions for building an interactive web app using LlamaIndex, Python, and Streamlit. Plus, it doesn't just leave you hanging with the build; it goes into deploying your application effectively, considering cost prediction and privacy concerns.What's truly useful are the sections on prompt engineering and troubleshooting, which are gold for developers looking to polish their skills in LLM applications. Whether you're a newbie to NLP and LLMs or an experienced developer, this book has nuggets of wisdom for everyone.

If you want to learn how to connect a powerful LLM, like GPT-4, Claude3, Gemini or LLaMA3 to your existing proprietary data using LlamaIndex, in a clever way, with basic coding effort, I strongly recommend “Building Data-Driven Applications with LlamaIndex” by Andrei Gheorghiu

Andrei Fajardo Aug 07, 2024

In my opinion, this book by Andrei Gehorghiu should be viewed as an essential guide for anyone looking to master the LlamaIndex Python framework.For one, it teaches off of version 0.10.x (i.e., post our big migration from a monolithic library), and begins with a nice introduction to LLMs and motivation for RAG or context augmentation. Second, the author adopts a hands-on approach building a project called PITS throughout the book — this allows the readers to gradually learn the concepts of both RAG and LlamaIndex chapter by chapter, making it an ideal starting point for beginners.The book also covers, in a sensible ordering, the core classes of LlamaIndex including our various Index, Storage, Retrieval, Post-Processors, Response-Synthesizer classes, and others. In addition to RAG, it also covers our Agent abstractions, which by the way can be used in our multi-agent system with our latest library called llama-agents (this came after the publishing of this book). Finally, the book explores various aspects of customization, the LlamaIndex CLI tool, as well as LlamaPacks!In future editions, I would hope to see our latest Workflows classes get added to this book, and some coverage on building multi-agent systems with LlamaAgents. Overall, Building Data-Driven Applications With LlamaIndex is a valuable resource for anyone interested in developing data-driven applications using the LlamaIndex Python framework, and I highly recommend it!
