about this book
Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) was written to introduce readers to various technologies and tools used within real-world FinTech companies. This book has two main objectives—to fire the imagination of both new and existing software developers in FinTech to the potential possibilities a career can take you; and to introduce a variety of topics in software development, technologies, and finance with the hope that you find at least one area you will want to explore further. We created a real-world project, using real-world techniques and technologies that we believe will benefit developers, regardless of their industry or experience.
Who should read this book
Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) is for developers interested in full stack development with a FinTech spin. Both beginner and experienced developers should find something worthwhile as we touch on many topics. We try to present a full Agile development cycle and work on the project throughout the book in an Agile manner. While this book is intended for a wide audience, a basic understanding of programming in a high-level language such as Python or Java is assumed, as we do not cover basic programming constructs such as loops, conditional statements, and similar.
