Up-to-date as of late 2024
Defines the term 'declarative agent' clearly
Cons
No hands-on component, just text and a multiple-choice quiz
Essentially a product brochure or a single documentation page
Feels incomplete without the other modules in the path
The three-question knowledge check just asks for definitions I'd read on the previous page. This isn't really a course; it's a glossary entry. The content is basically Microsoft's own blog post explaining what a declarative agent is, split into a few pages with a 'Next' button.
There's no code, no sandbox, no 'try this yourself.' You just read. For what it is—a quick, official definition—it's fine. It does get the terminology straight. But I came away with zero practical skills. I couldn't build one or even explain the architecture to someone else without just quoting the text back. It feels like the first chapter ripped out of a textbook. You need the follow-up module on API plugins to get anywhere near something useful. It passed the time, but that's about it.
