Every Essential AI Skill in 25 Minutes (2025)
Tina Huang. The prompting chapter (02:30–09:20) lays out two stackable mnemonics — "tiny crabs ride enormous iguanas" (task, context, references, evaluate, iterate) and "ramen saves tragic idiots" (revisit, separate, try analogous, introduce constraints) — that map cleanly onto the iterate-and-refine patterns in the article. Useful when a single-shot formula isn't getting you there.

DeepLearning.AIChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
Ninety minutes to a year's worth of intuition. If you've started writing code that calls an LLM — or you're about to — this is the most efficient course online for closing the gap between "playing with ChatGPT" and "shipping a feature that calls an LLM."
Coursera · Vanderbilt UniversityPrompt Engineering for ChatGPT
The academic complement to DeepLearning.AI's short course — same discipline, longer arc, written for people who don't code. Dr. White teaches prompting as a set of reusable patterns (Ask for Input, Outline Expansion, Fact Check List, Menu Actions) rather than tricks. After this you'll prompt LLMs like a designer, not a guesser.
