This book seeks to teach readers how to write Python or .NET code to perform certain tasks as Agents within Microsoft’s AI platform. Unfortunately, it’s heavy on code and light on concepts. I wish it’d teach more about how to integrate with Azure’s web interface instead of the command line alone. It does succeed at showing many examples of how to code agents, but it lacks a deep conceptual explanation of how agents integrate with the rest of the AI platform. Like many Microsoft-oriented tutorials, the book is heavier on using Microsoft tools and less on how to think about AI. I’d say to give it a pass unless you’re heavily involved in the Microsoft world, especially .NET.
