Expectations for AI Applications#
I’ve started a selective subject called AI Driven Applications, and I want to outline what I expect to learn and how it fits into my development journey.
What I want to learn#
My main goal is to understand how AI can be used in real applications — not just theory.
I’m especially interested in:
- Integrating AI into fullstack applications
- Using APIs like language models in backend systems
- Understanding limitations and trade-offs
- Building features that actually improve user experience
How it fits my current skills#
I’m currently working with Java, Javalin, and PostgreSQL, so I want to explore how AI can be added to that stack.
Some ideas I want to experiment with:
- Chat-based interfaces
- AI-assisted search
- Automating backend logic
Expectations for the course#
I hope the course focuses on practical work:
- Building real applications
- Working with AI tools and APIs
- Designing systems that include AI components
I also expect challenges, especially around understanding how AI behaves and how to use it reliably.
Goal#
By the end of the course, I want to:
- Build a complete AI-driven application
- Understand when AI is useful — and when it isn’t
- Combine AI with traditional backend development
This course feels like a natural next step as AI becomes more integrated into modern applications. I’m looking forward to experimenting and building something useful.
