To enhance lab stability and simplify content maintenance, we’re consolidating all labs in the AI Engineer curriculum to use Python exclusively. This change affects the following courses:
| Course Number | Course Name |
|---|---|
| AI-102 | Designing and Implementing a Microsoft Azure AI Solution |
| AI-3002 | Create Document Intelligence Solutions with Azure AI Document Intelligence |
| AI-3003 | Build a Natural Language Processing Solution with Azure AI Services |
| AI-3004 | Build an Azure AI Vision Solution with Azure AI Services |
| AI-3016 | Develop Generative AI Apps in Azure AI Foundry Portal |
| AI-3026 | Develop AI Agents on Azure |
🐍Why Python?
This shift allows us to:
- Deliver more reliable, up-to-date labs that keep pace with rapidly evolving SDKs like Azure AI Projects and Semantic Kernel.
- Streamline our development efforts by focusing on a single codebase instead of maintaining multiple language versions.
- Support a broader audience, as Python remains the most widely used language among our learners.
🌍What About Other Languages?
We understand that some learners and trainers work in C# or other environments. To support them, labs will continue to include links to SDK documentation for alternative languages.
📆Rollout Timeline
This change will be implemented incrementally over the coming weeks. We’ll keep you informed as updates go live.
We recognize this is a shift for some in our trainer and partner community. Your flexibility and support are deeply appreciated as we work toward delivering the best possible learning experience.
