Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Build autonomous AI agents with Microsoft Agent Framework using hands on labs covering prompts, memory, tools, and multi agent orchestration.

Description

If you are a Python developer who wants to build autonomous AI agents but prefers learning by doing rather than theory, this hands on course immerses you in the Microsoft Agent Framework. You will initialize agents, manipulate prompts, analyze execution logs, experiment with memory architectures, wire up function tools, and orchestrate multi agent interactions in a lab environment.

This Course Offers

  • A Hands On, Lab Driven Approach: You will step into a sandbox environment where the primary method of discovery is active experimentation, running code, tweaking parameters, and directly observing how changes alter agent behavior.
  • Practical Single Agent Configuration Skills: You will learn to initialize basic agents, manipulate their prompts, and analyze execution logs to understand their decision making processes.
  • Advanced State and Memory Management: The course covers experimenting with different memory architectures, contrasting short lived session contexts against persisted state, and learning to reset or restore agent history.
  • Tool Integration and Multi Agent Orchestration: You will learn to wire up function tools for external data access and observe how simple coordination patterns between multiple agents can solve complex problems.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It is intensely hands on and practical. Instead of high level theory, you learn by actively experimenting with code in a lab environment, building a robust mental model of how MAF components interact.
  2. It focuses on core agent architecture concepts. You will gain practical familiarity with single agent configuration, state management, tool integration, and multi agent orchestration, not just API usage.
  3. It is designed for developers. If you are a Python developer or AI engineer who wants to build autonomous agents, this course gives you the confidence to run, debug, and modify your own agentic prototypes.
  4. It includes labs and hands on exercises. The course features dedicated labs including building your first AI agent, ensuring you get real practice, not just passive watching.

If you are a Python developer or AI engineer who wants to master the Microsoft Agent Framework through hands on experimentation, this course provides a practical, lab driven path. Note that one student review mentioned that some components may need updating, and there are advertisements at the beginning of each lesson.

Course Eligibility

  • Python developers who want to build autonomous AI agents using Microsoft Agent Framework.
  • AI engineers looking to master multi agent orchestration patterns and tool integration.
  • Software architects seeking to understand AI governance, observability, and agent state management.
  • Developers who prefer hands on, lab driven learning over high level theory.

Course Requirements

  • No prior experience with Microsoft Agent Framework is required. Everything you need will be covered.
  • Python programming knowledge is essential, as you will be running and modifying code throughout the course.
  • A willingness to experiment actively in a lab environment is essential.
