Prompt Engineering Tutorial

1. Prompt Engineering Introduction

What prompt engineering is, why it matters, and the anatomy of a good prompt: context, task, format and constraints.

2. Core Prompting Techniques

Zero-shot vs few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, and system prompts vs user prompts.

3. Advanced Prompting

Requesting structured JSON output, function/tool calling as a prompting pattern, and self-consistency.

4. Multi-Modal Prompting

Prompting with images and documents alongside text, and what changes about reliability and specificity.

5. Prompt Injection & Security

Direct and indirect prompt injection attacks, concrete examples, and structural mitigation strategies.

6. Evaluating Prompts Systematically

Building an evaluation dataset, A/B testing prompt variants, and regression-testing prompts before shipping.

7. Prompt Templates & Versioning

Managing prompts as versioned artifacts instead of inline strings, and a practical rollout/rollback workflow.

8. Prompt Engineering Interview Questions

Commonly asked prompt engineering interview questions with clear, practical answers.
