    Learning Agentic Engineering

    A hands-on course for builders. It moves the work from ad hoc, small-scale AI-assisted coding towards agentic engineering: writing specifications, building the feedback loops and verification checks an agent needs, and directing coding agents rather than hand-writing every line. It covers tool fluency, spec-writing and modern agentic SDLC frameworks, and closes with a capstone in which participants run a real project through the full agentic workflow.

    Building and Working with Agents — Part I

    An advanced course on building and deploying production-grade, cloud-based agents. It starts with a hands-on agent harness written from scratch, then moves into frameworks — LangChain, CrewAI and Azure AI Foundry — and multi-agent orchestration, in service of Amadeus' longer-term software factory ambition. This is the first of a two-part series.
