About the course

The Microsoft Bot Framework (MBF) and the Cognitive Services APIs allow you to create powerful bots for multiple platforms in a simple way.

Using Node.js, you’ll learn how to create a Skype bot that will provide movie recommendations using the most important features of this framework. Each episode of the series will add functionality to the bot and show you different tools and techniques to take your bot development to the next level.

We’ll show you how to register our bot with the Microsoft Bot Framework (MBF), and then add it to Skype. We’ll integrate Natural Language Processing (NLP) to our bot by using both LUIS, an AI used to understand language, and the Text Analytics API for sentiment analysis. Topping it off with some card formatting and using ngrok and the Bot Framework Emulator, to test our bot. All within 6 videos!

To make the most of this short course, you should have a good understanding of JavaScript and have used Node.js. Once you’ve completed this, you may be interested in Introducing TypeScript, a JavaScript compiler that gaining traction in the JavaScript world, especially as it works hand in hand with Angular.
