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 is a very good teacher who has all the expertise and methodology to teach java to a beginner. The course content is solid, up-to-date and the program structure is easy to follow. Learning by doing is the hallmark of the course. I became a true admirer of the Java expertise of Andreas during our final project where he magically comes and solves our problems."

"Incredibly educational days with Andreas as a Java teacher. He has extensive knowledge of everything from the older Java versions to the newer ones. Andreas is very good at explaining programming languages in detail and in a way that is easy to understand most of the time! The lessons how challenging and fun that really made one think and train one's problem solving skills. In addition, Andreas has good pedagogy and is very responsive and helpful when you need help. Can strongly recommend Andreas as a teacher of Java and programming in general!"

"Andreas is a very pedagogical teacher who cares about the development of all his students. Andreas strength as a teacher is to see each individual student and thereby more easily help those who need extra support as well as those students who need greater challenges. Andreas is also responsive to the students' wishes and adapts the material accordingly."

"During my Java training, I have had the privilege of having Andreas as a teacher. Throughout the training, Andreas has been very pedagogical and makes sure that every student follows along in the training, regardless of what previous experience they have. Thanks to his broad competence in Java, the training has been very educational and engaging."
