Publisher's Synopsis
In a world rapidly shifting toward autonomous workflows and intelligent automation, traditional apps are no longer enough. Whether you're a developer, ML engineer, or tech enthusiast, you've likely asked: How do I build agents that actually do things not just chat? That's where Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) and Vertex AI's Agent Engine come in giving you the power to build structured, tool-using, memory-enabled agents that can reason, decide, and act at scale.
Google ADK Crash Course is your complete, hands-on guide to mastering agentic development with Google's cutting-edge ecosystem. From your first CLI command to deploying cloud-native multi-agent systems, this book walks you through the real tools, real code, and real thinking behind modern agentic AI. You'll learn how to design smart tools, manage memory and state, coordinate teams of agents, and build production-ready systems that integrate deeply with enterprise APIs, databases, and monitoring platforms.
By the time you finish, you won't just understand how agents work you'll be building agents that work.
What You'll Gain Inside:
Master the full ADK toolchain to create, debug, and deploy AI agents with structured reasoning and real-world capabilities.
Build agents with memory and tool-use, using schemas, context, and logic to respond intelligently and reliably.
