A solid, hands-on hour for anyone already building with Azure AI. It's a practical guide to using the SDK for evals, not a deep dive into the 'why'.

Who it's for
Students and developers needing a quick, code-first intro to Azure AI's evaluation SDK.
Who should skip it
Anyone looking for deep theory on evaluation metrics or a platform-agnostic approach.
Pros
Provides runnable code for using the Azure AI Evaluation SDK.
Covers both performance and safety metrics.
Introduces the 'prompty' format for custom evaluators.
Cons
Assumes you're already set up in the Azure AI ecosystem.
The 'synthetic data generation' part is quite brief.
More of a product tutorial than a conceptual course.
My first `evaluators.summarize` call threw a key error. Turns out my local environment was missing a dependency that the sandbox had pre-installed—a good reminder that these one-hour modules are tightly scripted. One step off the path and you’re on your own.
This is mostly a code walkthrough for Azure AI's evaluation SDK. It shows how to run built-in checks for things like groundedness and relevance, and then track them in AI Studio. The part on creating a custom evaluator with the `.prompty` format was new to me and genuinely useful. But the 'generate synthetic datasets' section felt tacked on at the end, just enough to make you aware the feature exists.
I got the code snippets I needed. It’s a dense hour if you're already in the Azure ecosystem, but don't expect it to teach you the theory behind the metrics themselves.
