Book Description

This book starts with setting up the Microsoft Bot Framework development environment and emulator, and quickly moves on to building the first bot using Connector and Builder SDK. You will explore how to register, connect, test, and publish your bot to the Slack, Skype, and Facebook Messenger platforms.

Throughout this book, you will build different types of bots from simple to complex as you progress, such as a weather bot, a natural speech and intent processing bot, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) bot for a bank, a facial expression recognition bot, and more from scratch.

These bots were designed and developed to teach you concepts such as text detection, implementing LUIS dialogs, Cortana Intelligence Services, third-party authentication, Rich Text format, Bot State Service, and MicroServices so you can practice working with the standard development tools such as Visual Studio, Bot Emulator, and Azure.
