Why we included this project

Microsoft's AI Agents for Beginners is a free, structured course for people who want to learn agentic AI without stitching together scattered tutorials. Its 18 lessons move from core concepts and design patterns to practical tooling, and each one comes with runnable code samples. Lessons are self-contained, so you can skip around to whatever you need, and the project stays current thanks to an active maintainer community. Since this is a course rather than a library, treat it as a learning resource to pair with the frameworks it demonstrates, not something to drop into production. It's a good fit for developers and small teams who want to understand agent architecture before committing to a framework.
