About these books
Osman Academy publishes free, plain-language companion textbooks for the AI Fundamentals, Associate, Developer, and Architect learning tracks. They are written to be read alongside a course or on their own: unpack unfamiliar terms, walk through prerequisites, study worked examples, and check your understanding.
The books are written by Osman Muhammad — 12+ years of software engineering, a master's in Computer Science and Information Technology, and current work in AI at a consulting firm — and edited with the same teach-it-back method the books themselves use: explain an idea plainly, try to teach it back, find the gaps, refine.
Not affiliated, not endorsed
Osman Academy is an independent educational publisher. These books are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic, or any AI vendor, platform, certification body, or course provider. Where a certification or program is named, it is named descriptively, to say what the book helps you study — it does not imply any partnership or official status, and these books are not official study material for any exam.
Any professional certifications referenced belong to the author personally; they describe who is writing, not something these books award.
Educational use only
The content is provided for general educational purposes, in good faith, on an "as is" basis, with no warranty as to accuracy, completeness, or currency. AI tools and the surrounding landscape change quickly. Each chapter carries a "last reviewed" date so you can see how current it is, and each book keeps a changelog of substantive updates.
No guaranteed outcomes
Reading these books does not guarantee a job, promotion, certification result, or any specific career or business outcome. Results depend on your own effort, background, and circumstances.
Trademarks
All third-party names, logos, and trademarks — including Anthropic, Claude, OpenAI, ChatGPT, and any vendor or platform named — are the property of their respective owners. Any reference is nominative and descriptive only and does not imply association or endorsement.
