From Zero to Hero: How to put GPT LLMs and friends into your applications
Unlocking the power of human language as the universal interface for software solutions—sounds intriguing, right? In this masterclass, Christian and Sebastian dive into integrating Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications.
With a focus on Python APIs, we’ll guide you in leveraging the capabilities of both OpenAI GPT and open-source models across a variety of use cases. The course centers on key architectural patterns such as In-Context Learning, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Structured Output, Tool Calling, and Reasoning & Acting (ReAct). These techniques are essential for building cutting-edge, AI-enhanced business applications. Let’s explore practical approaches and end-to-end methods for integrating Generative AI into your business applications.
Christian Weyer ist Mitgründer & CTO der Thinktecture AG. Seit knapp 30 Jahren liegt sein Herz immer bei den neuesten Technologien und wie man sie sinnvoll für moderne Softwarelösungen einsetzen kann.
Sebastian ist Consultant bei Thinktecture und Microsoft MVP. Seine Spezialgebiete sind Generative AI im Businessumfeld sowie ASP.NET Core.

Advanced Value Object Patterns in .NET
While basic value objects solve primitive obsession, complex domain requirements need sophisticated modeling techniques. This article explores advanced patterns using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions to tackle real-world scenarios: open-ended dates for employment contracts, composite file identifiers across storage systems, recurring anniversaries without year components, and geographical jurisdictions using discriminated unions.

Discriminated Unions in .NET: Modeling States and Variants
Domain models often involve concepts that exist in multiple distinct states or variations. Traditional approaches using enums and nullable properties can lead to invalid states and scattered logic. This article explores how discriminated unions provide a structured, type-safe way to model domain variants in .NET, aligning perfectly with Domain-Driven Design principles while enforcing invariants at the type level.

Value Objects in .NET: Enhancing Business Semantics
Value objects are fundamental building blocks in Domain-Driven Design, serving far more than simple data wrappers. This article explores their strategic importance in bridging technical code and business concepts, enforcing domain rules, and fostering clearer communication with domain experts. Learn how to build robust aggregates, cultivate ubiquitous language, and encapsulate domain-specific behavior using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions in .NET applications.

Pattern Matching with Discriminated Unions in .NET
Traditional C# pattern matching with switch statements and if/else chains is error-prone and doesn't guarantee exhaustive handling of all cases. When you add new types or states, it's easy to miss updating conditional logic, leading to runtime bugs. The library Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions solves this with built-in Switch and Map methods for discriminated unions that enforce compile-time exhaustiveness checking.
