A great introduction to Alexa Skills creation, however, I did not receive a response from a missing file of the course.

I started the Makerdemy Alexa Skill course and I love it! This has been by far the best, most thorough and easy to understand course on how to create an Alexa skill. I'm not a professional programmer and still found this course very easy to follow. It's also affordable and worth every penny! I am going to continue with Advanced Alexa Course from the same creator.

The perfect place to learn about Alexa skill development. This is a well planned and well structured course. The highlight of this course is "explaining all the concepts" in relation to "real life experiences"

I have done many courses on Alexa and Google Assistant. Probably this is the only course out there which has got all these concepts explained at 'one place' and more importantly in layman's terms. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from "Alexa skills in 24 hours

This is the perfect course for kickstarting someone's career in becoming an Alexa developer. I particularly liked the illustrations/animations in this course. I have taken several courses before on Alexa and Google Assistant and more of that not, I had difficulty in sustaining the initial enthusiasm because the content was boring. This course was a refreshing change. The visuals were as engaging as the course projects and I was able to sustain my motivation to complete the course.
