Why take this course?

Note: In this series I will use Bot Framework version-3.

AI is Artificial intelligence, Study of intelligent agents and takes actions. Bots are a Software application that runs automated tasks and Simulates how a human would behave.

This course includes 4 Core components. All listed items are Microsoft's product and have proper documentation so if you stuck anywhere you can find proper documentation.

Microsoft Bot Framework enables you to build bots that support different types of interactions with users. Microsoft Bot Framework allows us to create conversational chatbots. Every bot has some common functionalities. Such as each bot require basic I/O, they must have language and dialog skills, and they must connect to users, preferably in any conversation experience and language the user chooses. The Bot Framework is responsible for this.
LUIS stands for Language Understanding Intelligent Service. LUIS uses machine learning to allow developers to build applications that can receive user input in natural language and extract meaning from it. It allows your application to understand what a person wants in their own words.
Azure Bot Services provides an integrated environment purpose-built for bot development. You can write a bot, connect, test, deploy, and manage it from your web browser with no separate editor. We can publish it to various channels such as Skype, Cortana, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Slack etc.
Azure Cognitive Services is a collection of APIs that enables natural and contextual interaction. It has intelligent algorithms to see, hear, speak, understand and interpret user needs through natural methods of communication.

Through this series, we will learn

How to create Form using FormFlow and make Rich cards
Use of Azure Bot Services
Publish bot on Skype, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Telegram, and Cortana.
Understood LUIS.AI and integrate it with Bot Framework.
Advance concepts of Bot Framework such as State management and Proactive messages.
And use cognitive services such as Vision API, Language API, and Bing Search APIs.

We will learn all above things through this video series. If you have any doubts then you can contact me via mail, message, or Q & A.

I really wanted a course which could explain about chatbots in depth and from scratch that too in c#. This was the only course which had everything I needed.

Bot development understanding is okay but need to be more detailed like about the classes used in it.

The course is great, but Microsoft will not support deploying a V3 bot to Azure. I created one of these as a prototype, and it get 500 errors in Azure. After spending weeks with a rep from Microsoft support, I was told that they no longer support V3 bots and it would need to be upgraded to V4. Upgrading the bot version was a very challenging process, so I would suggest trying to find a course on V4 to start with if you are learning this and have plans to deploy to a production environment in Azure.

Link material incorrecto a la hora de descargar el template (plantilla). No supe de que versión de framework era el curso hasta que lo compre y solicité información. (Luego cambiaron el título).

This course covers all the important topics and to the point explains their functionality. It will be great if a functionality used with QnA Maker is also added in a separate section. My suggestion is it will add more value to the course if one real life sample project is added at the end of the course.

Nice starting. Good for beginners. Like the way contents organised. And yeah thanks for source code and presentation. It would be great if updated with new SDK & APIs.

At first I didn't write a public review. It asked my opinion on the instruction after the second or third video and I was more or less just scanning through that to make sure all my software was up to day. Anyways, moving forward, I am really enjoying the rest of the course. I'm currently on LUIS right now and it's very interesting stuff. I'm always coming back to these videos and learning more. Love the instruction.

I got a overall idea about LUIS, Bot Framework and Cognitive service APIs. If the instructor could explain with specific sample bot it will be more useful. If the same course can be taught in Node.js , I would appreciate it.

Don't think the pacing is great; wish topics would last longer. Also I am probably not the right audience; assumes a working knowledge of C#.

One the best BOT courses I have ever watched. Nilay explains all the concepts so clearly. From basics BOT to advanced concepts, he provided the real-life scenarios which makes course so interesting. A big thumps up to Nilay! Can you provide the NodeJS code for this course as well?

Very good jump start to MS Bot framework get me up to speed with this new technology and open new horizons to discover. The recording voice is a bit low, If the quality can be improved and the voice is a bit higher that would be great.
