Agent Development Kit (ADK) Tutorials to get started with

Google’s Agent Development Kit has seen good traction with developers. I came across several articles/tutorials that would be worth your time, as you learn more about this framework.

• Official ADK tutorial: https://bit.ly/4jk9AdB
• Sita Lakshmi Sangameswaran has probably created the most compact video tutorial that takes you through ADK features right from its installation to building multi-agent systems : https://bit.ly/4cIJT3Y
• Abirami Sukumaran, Ph.D gave an excellent Developer keynote demo at Cloud Next 2025 that featured a Multi-Agent system built using ADK. She describes it in the blog: https://bit.ly/3EiKnkF
• A lovely tutorial on ADK, fairly detailed and worth your time: https://bit.ly/42EvHUL
• Arjun Prabhulal tackles an area on every Agentic developers mind: how well does ADK help us create Agents that can talk MCP. He explores using ADK to create a Agent that acts as a MCP client with Gemini : https://bit.ly/3YEsFyE
• Vikram Tiwari takes ADK through its paces, builds out Wingspan Agent, a Telegram Bot powered by ADK, that helps you learn more about birds: https://bit.ly/4440QDB. What I liked about this article was how Vikram highlighted ADK’s strength in helping you do your agent evaluation.
• Rubens Zimbres, Ph.D. has in my opinion created the most detailed tutorial on putting together ADK, A2A and a serious use case inside a Google Cloud implementation. You have to read it: https://bit.ly/4cF1vNY
• A2A (Agent 2 Agent) protocol is a hot topic. But let’s step back for a moment. How do you play to the strengths of ADK (to help you design functional agents) and then how do you architect a distributed system of agents coming together, loose coupling, good design and more (A2A).
  – Karl Weinmeister tackles this challenge in bringing A2A and ADK together: https://bit.ly/4jA10Ha
  – Heiko Hotz has a fantastic tutorial on A2A that you should definitely check out too: https://bit.ly/42H4gKe
  – Arjun Prabhulal demonstrates A2A and MCP with ADK powering the agents in designing and implementing a Travel Planner: https://bit.ly/4ik9fpP
• If you are planning to use ADK to integrate with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, you are in luck with 100s of connectors already in place. Lukasz Olejniczak, PhD gives you the details: https://bit.ly/3EA6DGB
• Agent Development Kit, Agent Engine, Agentspace, Tools, Cloud Run, A2A, MCP … whats going on? Can someone help us make sense of what this is, how do we choose, right tool for the job sort of thing. Karl Weinmeister gives you easy decision tree to help understand this like a pro: https://bit.ly/4cGqAIt
• From Zero to Hero (or shall we say Agent), as Juan Vieira helps us learn ADK to create an Agent, Evaluate it and deploy it on Google Cloud:
  Part 1 (https://bit.ly/3Ge5NzJ) and Part 2 (https://bit.ly/3Y5MkHJ)
