This course offered by Microsoft Cloud Advocates consists of 18 lessons that teach the basics of creating Generative AI applications. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect of Generative AI and can be taken in any order. The lessons come in two types: "Learn" lessons, which provide explanations of Generative AI concepts, and "Build" lessons, which include these explanations along with code examples in Python and TypeScript when available. Additional resources for further study are provided in a "Keep Learning" section included in each lesson.

   

To participate fully in the course, especially the coding parts, learners need to have access to the Azure OpenAI Service or the OpenAI API. Although it's beneficial to have a basic understanding of Python or TypeScript, complete beginners are encouraged to take introductory courses in these languages. Additionally, a GitHub account is necessary to fork the course's repository to the learner's own account. To assist with the initial setup, a specific "Course Setup" lesson is included to help prepare the development environment.
