I spent the last few months exploring Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) in depth — from LLM agents and workflow agents to multi-agent systems, Vertex AI RAG/Search, OpenAPI tools, and MCP.

To make this accessible to everyone, I compiled everything into a free 19-module hands-on masterclass.

The course covers:

• Foundations: setup, first agent, visual builder • Agent Types: LLM agents, workflow patterns, multi-agent systems • Tools: Google Search, Code Executor, Vertex AI RAG, Vertex AI Search, custom Python tools, OpenAPI tools, multi-tool agents • Third-Party Tools: GitHub MCP, Firecrawl MCP • Core Internals: session/state/memory, context management, callbacks, artifacts, events

All modules include complete Python code examples.

Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are welcome.

Google's ADK (v1.18+) introduces a Visual Agent Builder that lets us build agents without writing code.I wrote a technical breakdown and included a comprehensive financial analysis of a multi-agent demo, showcasing parallel, sequential, and aggregator agents.
