A Microsoft-maintained hands-on course teaching .NET developers how to build Generative AI applications in C# across five practical lessons. It includes live coding samples using tools like Semantic Kernel, Azure AI, GitHub Models, and Foundry Local.

Use cases

• learn to build generative AI apps in .NET
• course for C# developers getting started with LLMs
• run AI models locally from .NET with Foundry Local
• examples of using Semantic Kernel in C#
• integrate Azure AI services into .NET applications
• hands-on tutorials for GitHub Models with .NET

When to choose

• you are a .NET/C# developer new to generative AI and want structured, practical lessons
• you want runnable code samples rather than theory
• you want to learn Semantic Kernel, Azure AI, or GitHub Models in a .NET context

When to avoid

• you need a production library or framework rather than educational material
• you work outside the .NET ecosystem
• you need deep theoretical coverage of machine learning fundamentals
