A 4-Level AI Agent Learning Path: From Basics to MCP and Production
ifioknkem · x · 2026-10-03
Ifiok Nkem shares a graded AI agent learning path built mostly on Microsoft's official videos:
- Level 1 (21 min): agent basics, overview of agentic frameworks, how to design good agents
- Level 2 (1 hour): core patterns — tool-use design pattern, Agentic RAG, trustworthy agents, planning pattern
- Level 3 (2 hours): advanced architecture — multi-agent design pattern, metacognition pattern, production deployment, agentic memory, Microsoft Agent Framework
- Level 4 (5 hours): expert mode — agentic protocols (MCP and A2A), context engineering, computer-use agents, securing AI agents
His advice: don't rush — do one level per session and actually apply each video before moving on. Full list lives in a companion GitHub repo.
