Course Outline

Introduction to LangGraph and Graph Concepts

  • Why use graphs for LLM applications: orchestration versus simple chains
  • Nodes, edges, and state within LangGraph
  • Hello LangGraph: creating your first runnable graph

State Management and Prompt Chaining

  • Designing prompts as graph nodes
  • Passing state between nodes and handling outputs
  • Memory patterns: distinguishing between short-term and persisted context

Branching, Control Flow, and Error Handling

  • Conditional routing and multi-path workflows
  • Strategies for retries, timeouts, and fallbacks
  • Ensuring idempotency and safe re-runs

Tools and External Integrations

  • Function and tool calling from within graph nodes
  • Invoking REST APIs and services within the graph
  • Working with structured outputs

Retrieval-Augmented Workflows

  • Basics of document ingestion and chunking
  • Embeddings and vector stores (e.g., ChromaDB)
  • Grounded answering with citations

Testing, Debugging, and Evaluation

  • Unit-style tests for nodes and paths
  • Tracing and observability
  • Quality checks: ensuring factuality, safety, and determinism

Packaging and Deployment Fundamentals

  • Environment setup and dependency management
  • Serving graphs via APIs
  • Versioning workflows and managing rolling updates

Summary and Next Steps

Requirements

  • A fundamental understanding of Python programming
  • Experience working with REST APIs or CLI tools
  • Familiarity with LLM concepts and the fundamentals of prompt engineering

Audience
