This hands-on, project-driven course gives you the skills to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to life using Java and the Spring Framework. In just 3 weeks, you’ll learn how to build intelligent apps that create text, images, or recommendations quickly and become the go-to developer employers are looking for.

To start, you’ll set up your Java development environment and dive into the core principles of AI. You’ll then move straight to building hands-on experience using tools and techniques such as Deeplearning4j and Spring AI in practical projects that employ powerful Java and Spring AI libraries. Plus, you’ll integrate your AI skills with Spring, leveraging its robust architecture to build smart applications. This course is ideal for developers with a working knowledge of Java and Spring who want to break into the fast-moving world of AI without switching ecosystems or learning a new language from scratch. If that’s you… enroll today and build the highly sought-after GenAI skills employers are actively seeking in just 3 weeks.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence using Java. You will learn the core concepts of AI, set up a Java development environment for AI applications, and gain hands-on experience with key Java AI libraries. Through practical labs and guided projects, you will build their first AI applications, implement natural language processing techniques, and develop basic image recognition systems. This module is designed for Java developers who want to explore AI implementation in Java.
