In this chapter, we introduced the Microsoft Bot Framework and explained how it helps in the development of bots. Also, we have seen how to set up the development environment, emulator, and the tools needed for programming. This chapter is based on the thought that programming knowledge and experience grow best when they grow together. In the next chapter, we will introduce bot programming by building and locally deploying a simple Hello World bot application. You will get to know Visual Studio, C# .NET, the Bot Framework, and the related technologies along with all the steps for creating projects.

Overview of this book
Bots help users to use the language as a UI and interact with the applications from any platform. This book teaches you how to develop real-world bots using Microsoft Bot Framework.
The book starts with setting up the Microsoft Bot Framework development environment and emulator, and moves on to building the first bot using Connector and Builder SDK. 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, 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.
