Build working and regulation-compliant financial software—from scratch!
The software used by banks, trading firms, and other financial services has special requirements at every level, from securing the UI to making sure backend services comply with a host of regulations. Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) shows you how to deliver full stack financial services software—and how generative AI can make you even more productive.
In Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) you will:
• Explore the core concepts of FinTech
• Speed development with generative AI tools
• Develop and deploy containerized services
• Create and document APIs
• Effectively visualize your data
In Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) you’ll build working software for processing Automated Clearing House (ACH) files, a cornerstone technology of banking that moves trillions of dollars every year. You’ll work with generative AI technology throughout the full stack application, including researching the tech for your application, spinning up a bare bone starting project, answering domain questions, clarifying functionality, and troubleshooting. Along the way, you’ll learn what sets FinTech projects apart from normal web apps.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the technology
The financial industry is awash with regulatory and compliance challenges, complex technical requirements, and stringent security demands.
