DESCRIPTION:From Google to Disney\, Slack and Facebook\, enterprise and co
 nsumer\, conversational bot interfaces are a hot new trend for 2016. It s
 eems everybody wants to get in on the craze\, but they are not sure how.\
 n\nYou may think that programming a decent chat bot involves years of art
 ificial intelligence research\, designing data structures\, and a whole t
 eam of engineers. The truth\, however\, is different.\n\nWith some knowle
 dge of Node.JS\, and a few APIs available to developers\, you will learn 
 how to build\, maintain\, and extend a conversational chat bot - and have
  fun with it! These bots use the Microsoft Bot Framework\, which allows y
 ou to deploy one codebase to plenty of platforms\, including Slack\, Face
 book\, Skype\, SMS\, and others. All you need is some knowledge of Node.J
 S to get started.\n\nThis lecture will cover building a conversational bo
 t from scratch. We will also cover the business cases for building bots\,
  for both enterprise and consumer-facing apps. Finally\, we will explore 
 more about the psychology of interacting with bots. Because you too can b
 uild a bot!
