Spring AI Jumpstart: Essentials

Jumpstart the journey into AI development and integrate LLM models into your Java stack.

Expected Outcome

You leave the day with the ability to build type-safe AI integrations and AI services.

Target Audience

For Java developers who want to integrate LLM models into their applications today.

Prerequisites

Prior knowledge equivalent to my workshop 'Spring Boot Jumpstart: Essentials' is required.

Curriculum & Highlights

→ Spring AI Architecture

→ ChatClient & Prompts

→ Model Configuration

→ Type-safe Output Parsing

→ RAG Design Patterns

Detailed Description

The AI wave creates pressure to integrate intelligent features, but moving from a chat prompt to a robust Enterprise solution is complex. Without the right tools, LLM integration in Java becomes fragile and lacks type safety when handling unpredictable responses. This causes teams to get stuck in prototyping instead of delivering production-ready code that creates actual business value and stability. This creates an environment that is both difficult to manage and highly inefficient for any development team. In this workshop, I guide you through the foundations of Spring AI to bridge the gap between Java and generative AI. We explore practical integration of models like OpenAI and Azure, where I show you how to leverage Java's type stability to parse AI output into well-formed objects. Through my Active Learning concept, we build intelligent services ready for the real world today.

Recommendation & Next Steps

Once the foundation is laid, I recommend the workshop Enterprise RAG with Spring AI as the next step.

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.

"Andreas has great energy and a good way of teaching. He could sense if we could move forward faster or needed to go through something a little more. I wish my previous teachers had been more like Andreas."

"Andreas plans his lessons with a very good balance between theory and practice. Always good and interesting exercises. Andreas is calm, matter-of-fact and always happy. Has a positive aura that is contagious."

"I thought Andreas made it very easy for one to pick up new concepts. I thought Andreas had a nice relaxed personality. Which made it easy to ask questions about things you didn't really understand."

"Good delivery skills and ability to answer questions. Good pace of delivery, but sometimes the delivery was a little bit rushed. Rated 4 out of 5."

"It has been a great experience to have Andreas as my Java teacher. He has shown an extraordinary teaching ability by explaining the concepts in a simple and clear way that made it easy for me to understand. His patience and consideration have helped me overcome difficulties in the learning process and feel comfortable asking questions. He is always motivating and encourages me to strive to reach my full potential. I am grateful for his dedication to my education and highly recommend him to other students who want to learn Java."

"Andreas showed great patience with me when I had difficulty understanding. He never made me feel stupid. Instead, I felt I could ask as many times as I wanted. He is incredibly warm and has a good mood."

"Andreas is the name of competence, skill and reliability. He is no doubt a guru in the field of Java. His style of teaching is practical, well structured and effortless; I learned Java by doing it because of his well organized assignments.I felt connected, confident and comfortable with Andreas during the whole course because he listens, replies and helps each and every student in a very productive and professional way"

"Andreas is a very committed and helpful teacher who does everything to ensure that his students not only learn, but also understand what he teaches.
