This took under 20 minutes. It's really just a marketing page defining what an 'agent' is in the Microsoft ecosystem. You read a few pages, click through a multiple-choice quiz that’s impossible to fail, and that’s it. No code, no labs, not even a diagram that explains anything. It's free, but so is reading the product docs, which this mostly is. I wouldn't call it a course.
