Develop Your First AI Agent with Microsoft Foundry – Course Launch

AI Agents are quickly moving from experimental technology to real-world software engineering solutions.

As developers, we are entering a phase where applications can not only respond to user input but also reason, use tools, search for information, and perform tasks on behalf of users.

To help software engineers get started with this technology, I've launched a new hands-on course:

Develop Your First AI Agent with Microsoft Foundry

This course focuses on practical implementation rather than AI theory.

Throughout the series, we'll build a complete application called Subra AI Dietician, an intelligent AI Agent powered by Microsoft Foundry and Azure AI Foundry Agent Service.

What You'll Build

By the end of the course, you'll have built:

• A Microsoft Foundry AI Agent
• Custom Agent Instructions
• Web Search Tool Integration
• Agent Testing and Evaluation
• A Deployed AI Agent
• A React Frontend Connected to the Agent
• A Complete End-to-End AI Application

Technology Stack

• Microsoft Foundry
• Azure AI Foundry Agent Service
• Visual Studio Code
• GitHub Copilot
• React
• Vite

Who Is This Course For?

This course is designed for:

• Software Engineers
• React Developers
• React Native Developers
• Full Stack Developers
• Technical Leads

No prior AI experience is required.

What's Next?

In the next lesson, we'll answer an important question:

What exactly is an AI Agent, and how is it different from traditional software applications?

I'd love to hear from the community:

What AI Agent would you build for your organization or personal projects?
