"My name is Rabia and I participated in the Java Developer course with Andreas starting January 2022 after 20 years in the banking and finance industry. Previously had no experience whatsoever in the IT world, but chose the track with the digitization the world is going through. The course was incredibly broad & intensive and gave a good overview. When the course was over, I was hired by Capgemini as a junior developer. During the course I probably complained many times about how much information it presented, but I have benefited greatly from everything I have been taught. I continue to learn every day but have an understanding that still amazes me when I realize how much I brought with me. Thanks Andreas for everything! The course has given me the opportunity to pursue a new career in a new industry that I love. The change has given me new energy and opened up new doors. I am so grateful!"
Spring AI: Agents & Tools Foundations
Give your AI the power to act. Learn to implement Tool Calling with the @Tool annotation and build agents that perform tasks in Java.
The ability to use the @Tool annotation to safely expose Java logic and build agents that make decisions and perform actions.
Java developers looking to move from passive chats to active services that can use Java methods as tools in their systems.
Experience with Spring AI equivalent to 'Spring AI Jumpstart: Professional' is required to handle Tool Calling logic.
Curriculum & Highlights
Challenges we address
"How do I use the @Tool annotation to expose my Java code to a language model?"
"How do I describe my methods and parameters so the AI agent understands exactly how to use them?"
"How do I handle complex flows where the AI needs to invoke multiple different tools to solve a task?"
Empower your agents with your company's own data by moving on to: 'Enterprise RAG with Spring AI'. →

Expertise through Active Learning
Java and the Spring Framework have been my core focus for over 20 years. Today, my mission is primarily to help organizations step into the future by integrating intelligent agents and AI-driven features into modern Java systems.
Actlea stands for Active Learning – the philosophy that programming is best learned by writing code, not by watching slides. My workshops focus on intensive, hands-on exercises designed to solve real-world problems.
I deliver proven training concepts globally across all timezones. While I specialize in remote delivery, I love to travel for onsite workshops. My modules are ready for immediate impact but can be tailored to your team's specific requirements.
