ADK Mastery - From Beginner to Advanced Agent Development

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This comprehensive course is designed to take you from a beginner to an advanced level in Agent Development Kit (ADK). By the end of this course, you'll have a strong understanding of ADK's core concepts and development tools, and you will be proficient in developing intelligent agents for various applications. You will learn to build your own agents, integrate them with models like OpenAI and Google, and enhance their capabilities with custom tools and dynamic functions. The course begins by laying a solid foundation with an introduction to ADK, its core capabilities, and the tools you'll need. As you progress, you'll dive deeper into hands-on development, first building simple agents and then advancing to more complex agents like a travel planning system and blog content writer. You’ll also explore session management, memory handling, and the implementation of callbacks to fine-tune agent behavior. Through practical examples and projects, you will not only master the ADK but also gain a thorough understanding of the architecture, execution, and customization of agents. The course will guide you step-by-step, from simple workflows to complex, persistent agents. This course is perfect for developers looking to deepen their knowledge of ADK and those who want to build intelligent systems for real-world applications. Whether you are an aspiring agent developer or looking to enhance your current skills, this course will provide you with the expertise you need to succeed. By the end of the course, you will be able to build and customize intelligent agents, integrate advanced models with ADK, manage sessions and memory efficiently, and use callbacks to control agent behavior. You will also be capable of developing fully-functional agents for specific tasks such as travel planning and content writing.
