    <p>Good morning, Oklahoma City. Java Champion and NY Java SIG chair
      Frank Greco has graciously worked it out with his publisher to
      offer his "Foundations of AI/ML for Java Developers" for free
      until June 30. You can find the course at the link below. Note
      that when you follow that link, there's a button that allows
      people to sign up for a free full trial of LinkedIn Learning, but
      you do not have to sign up for the trial to access the course.</p>

          <div>In this course, explore the exciting world of artificial
            intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) from a Java
            developer’s perspective. Start with the essential principles
            of AI/ML and why patterns are so important. Learn how to
            differentiate between AI, ML, and deep learning, and clearly
            understand predictive AI versus generative AI. Join
            instructor Frank Greco to build a solid foundation on how to
            use ML in your software development projects and processes
            effectively.</div>
