Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet

Why we included this project

.NET developers who keep hitting Python-first AI tutorials will find a rare exception here. Microsoft's free course runs five hands-on lessons, each pairing a short video with C# samples you can actually run, covering text generation, chat with context, and agent-based workflows on Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry, or local models through Ollama. Everything is built for the .NET ecosystem, and GitHub Codespaces is set up so you can start without wrestling your environment. Beginners get a clear learning path, while teams already using Semantic Kernel or the Agent Framework can treat the samples as reference implementations. It is a maintained course rather than a library, so the value sits in the curated curriculum and runnable code, not in a component you would deploy.
