About this workshop

Geared toward anyone with familiarity with the python programming language, this course is a hands on introduction to developing apps for the amazon echo. We'll switch between lecture and practice while developing an app to help you find out when the next bus is coming to a stop of your choice. Voice applications are an up and coming opportunity, so this class presents anyone interested with a chance to get a head start. At the end of this class, you'll be ready to make your own application and launch it to the Amazon Echo App Store.
