Who is this for?
Java developers who can already read and modify a simple Java application. The beginner focus is on adding AI capabilities, rather than teaching programming from scratch.
Make the lessons useful
Choose a small existing Java feature, describe where an AI response would help, and identify which inputs need validation. Use the relevant demonstration to map the application flow before adding a model dependency.
Use the lesson list to study in sequence or return to a specific topic. Search by title, move between videos with Previous and Next, and mark a lesson complete when you finish. Your progress is kept in this browser; a WikiFree account is not required.
