"The Java program at Academic Work was excellent! It consisted of, given the name, mostly programming in Java, but also had some front-end courses. I thought the Java courses were the best. Not only because I was most interested in java, but also because the teacher in the java courses was Andreas. It's easy for it to get messy and "too much" when learning programming, especially for those starting from scratch, but Andreas taught in a very pedagogical way, and it never became long-winded or boring. Recommends the java program at Academic Work to anyone who wants to learn programming and wants to change careers."
Spring AI: Agents & Tools Foundations
Give the application 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 is the @Tool annotation used to expose Java code to a language model?"
"How are methods and parameters described so the AI agent understands exactly how to use them?"
"How are complex flows handled where the AI needs to invoke multiple different tools to solve a task?"
Empower the agents with the 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.
