langchain-for-beginners

Why we included this project

Microsoft's LangChain for Beginners is a ten-chapter course that walks someone new to the framework from a first chatbot to agentic RAG. Each chapter pairs an explanation with runnable code, so a learner can follow along in a notebook instead of piecing together scattered documentation. The progression is practical: conversational chatbots and semantic search come first, then function calling, autonomous agents, MCP integration, and agentic RAG, with a closing chapter on deploying to Microsoft Foundry. That makes it a useful onboarding path for teams standardizing on LangChain and a coherent curriculum for self-taught developers who want to see how real agent applications are assembled. It is a learning resource rather than a deployable tool, which is exactly what someone ramping up on the framework needs.
