Generative AI for Beginners .NET Gets Major Overhaul with Version 2
Microsoft has released Version 2 of its free “Generative AI for Beginners .NET” course, fully rebuilt to align with the latest .NET 10 platform. The updated curriculum introduces a streamlined five-lesson structure, modern AI abstractions, and refreshed hands-on samples to help developers build production-ready AI applications. It also reflects the latest advancements in agent-based systems and responsible AI practices.
Here’s what’s new:
A refreshed learning journey
Five fully rewritten lessons guide you step-by-step—from generative AI fundamentals to advanced techniques, real-world patterns, agent development, and responsible AI.
Built for modern .NET
All samples now align with the latest .NET practices, including dependency injection, middleware pipelines, and file-based apps. Authentication is simplified with Azure CLI—log in once and you’re set across all samples.
Simpler AI development with Microsoft.Extensions.AI
Version 2 introduces Microsoft.Extensions.AI as the foundation—bringing familiar .NET patterns and reducing complexity. Less setup, cleaner code, and more focus on building.
Cleaner, more focused samples
Legacy samples have been moved aside to prioritize a stronger learning path. Updated examples now rely on modern, native SDKs—making it easier for beginners to follow and apply.
Introducing the Microsoft Agent Framework
Lesson 4 now covers agent-based development, including multi-agent orchestration and real-world use cases like PDF ingestion and chat workflows.
Global-ready content
Updated across 8 languages (Chinese, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese) to support learners worldwide.
