# Prerequisites

This bootcamp is tailored to accommodate participants with minimal prerequisites, ensuring it's approachable for individuals from various backgrounds. For those in business functions or educational domains outside of programming, the course's theoretical aspects are still largely comprehensible. This understanding will aid in making more informed decisions and better use of these technologies. 

However, having a grasp of the listed prerequisites will greatly facilitate your journey through the entire curriculum, including bonus resources and the hands-on development module.

**1 – Python Foundations**: If you're new to Python or need a refresher, here are some free Python tutorials to get you started.

**2 – Docker Fundamentals:** Docker or containerization resolves the "it works on my machine" issue. Hence, it's great not just for this bootcamp but also for enabling you to explore open-source frameworks in general. Here are a couple of resources you can consider:&#x20;

**3 – Open Source Familiarity:** While previous experience with open-source projects can be beneficial, it isn't essential. It's worth noting that many routine challenges, such as publishing a local project on GitHub or using widely-accepted APIs, can often be resolved through a simple Google search or by consulting the relevant documentation. While these challenges won't present themselves at every turn, independently navigating them will equip you with the skills to devise impactful solutions in the future.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://ai-community-iitb-organization.gitbook.io/10-days-realtime-llm-bootcamp/introduction/prerequisites.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
