You're about to step into the exciting world of AI agents. Forget simple chatbots that just answer questions. We’re diving deep into the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to build sophisticated, autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and use tools to accomplish complex tasks.

Part 1: Hands-on with Agent Development Kit: Build custom AI agents using Python or Java and the Agent Development Kit (ADK). Learn ADK interfaces, project structure, and create a multi-agent example, progressing from a simple workflow to a complex system.
Part 2: Connect to Remote Agents with ADK and A2A SDK: Deploy your ADK agent as a remote agent using the Agent2Agent (A2A) Python or Java SDK. Cover AgentCard preparation, A2A Server deployment, command-line querying, and enabling inter-agent communication. Learn how A2A protocol enables an interconnected AI ecosystem allowing agents to integrate and share capabilities.
