Extract interview-coach-lab-starter.zip into interview-coach-lab once. Continue editing that folder throughout the course.
The Chapter 0 example lives in interview-coach-example.
Setup and resource guidance: https://codemillmatt.github.io/interview-coach-agent-framework/workshop/00-orientation/
Run from this directory: aspire start --apphost ./apphost.cs
This application shell runs without cloud resources. Configure reuse of the Chapter 0 model before activating it in Chapter 2.
Use the root AppHost throughout the course. Keep WorkshopHosting.cs and the MCP discovery probe.
Chapter 13 practices debugging with the completed application. Chapter 14 reviews the workshop.
Prepare the separate project-based AppHost only for optional deployment: https://codemillmatt.github.io/interview-coach-agent-framework/resources/deployment/
Cosmos arrives in Expose interview tools with MCP; MarkItDown arrives in Read a resume with a tool.
Stopping local apps keeps the shared Foundry account. Delete cloud resources only when their owner confirms both projects are finished.
Directory.Packages.props pins the direct package versions used by the workshop.
No credentials are included.
