Hands-on, instructor-led workshops for developers building AI agents with Microsoft Agent Framework and related tooling.

Agent Framework Dev Project

The Agent Framework Dev Project is a community initiative delivering instructor-led, hands-on, developer-focused training for building AI agents using modern frameworks and tooling.

Our current lab and presentation materials focus on instructor-led lab material for Agent Framework Dev Days with labs, decks, and supporting assets. Some of our current choices:

  • Using Microsoft Agent Framework (open source, preview as of Oct 2025) for building AI Agents
  • Using Microsoft Foundry platform for running AI Agents with observability, safety, and other enterprise-grade features
  • Applying practical agent architectures, tools, and workflows, including human-in-the-loop
  • Applying useful real-world patterns for building, evaluating, and operating AI agents

Attendee Feedback

“The workshop was incredibly informative to understand Agentic Framework and gain practitioner's / builder's experience with hands down labs. I very much enjoyed doing labs on:”

  1. Agentic Workflows implementing sequential, concurrent, and human-in-the-loop workflows
  2. Agentic RAG scenarios with Azure AI Search and Agent Framework orchestration.

“One of the best days spent with community of like-minded friends and professionals!!”
