# Generative AI for Beginners (Version 3) - A Course
|
||||
|
||||
Learn the fundamentals of building Generative AI applications with our 21-lesson comprehensive course by Microsoft Cloud Advocates.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌱 Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
This course has 21 lessons. Each lesson covers its own topic so start wherever you like!
|
||||
|
||||
Lessons are labeled either "Learn" lessons explaining a Generative AI concept or "Build" lessons that explain a concept and code examples in both **Python** and **TypeScript** when possible.
|
||||
|
||||
For .NET Developers checkout [Generative AI for Beginners (.NET Edition)](https://github.com/microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet?WT.mc_id=academic-105485-koreyst)!
|
||||
|
||||
Each lesson also includes a "Keep Learning" section with additional learning tools.
|
||||
|
||||
## What You Need
