generative-ai-for-beginners

Why we included this project

Microsoft's Cloud Advocates team put together a 21-lesson course that takes someone with no generative AI experience through the whole process of building an app. Each lesson explains a concept and pairs it with runnable code in Python and TypeScript, and the Build lessons make real API calls so you see actual output instead of just reading about it. The material moves from prompt engineering and how large language models work, through text, image, and audio generation, to grounding, fine-tuning, and deployment, which makes it a solid single on-ramp for developers aiming at a working prototype. Lessons are labeled Learn or Build and stand on their own, so you can skip ahead to whatever topic you need. It is a course rather than a deployable tool, but the notebooks and code samples are concrete enough to borrow for your own experiments.
