Microsoft’s Generative AI for Beginners provides 21 lessons to help learners start building with generative AI.
About Generative AI For Beginners
Generative AI for Beginners is an open-source GitHub repository from Microsoft Cloud Advocates that hosts a 21-lesson course on building generative AI applications. Each lesson covers a single topic and can be started in any order; lessons are labeled either "Learn," which explains a concept, or "Build," which explains a concept and includes code examples in Python and TypeScript where possible. Topics span introductions to generative AI, comparing large language models, responsible AI, prompt engineering, text, chat, search and image applications, low-code AI apps, function calling, UX design, security, the application lifecycle, retrieval-augmented generation and vector databases, open-source models, AI agents, fine-tuning, small language models, Mistral and Meta. A .NET Edition is also referenced for .NET developers.
The repository includes translations in more than 50 languages, which noticeably increases download size; the README provides sparse-checkout commands for cloning without the translation and translated-image folders. Each lesson ends with a "Keep Learning" section pointing to additional learning tools. No pricing information is stated.
