#Microsoft Bot Framework Hands-On Lab: Mars Challenge
Welcome to the Mars Challenge. The Mars Challenge is a series of hands-on labs with a twist to it... You will be briefed on your missions later on in the lab.
Please do NOT click into any other pages in this repo until told to do so!
###Prerequisites (try to do before the lab starts)
- Install NodeJS. After you've installed this, open your command line and run
npm install npm -g. This updates Node's Package Manager (npm) to the latest version. - Install Visual Studio Code (or any other code editor of your choice)
- Install Bot Framework emulator
###Lab content
Start with Mission 1.
- Mission 1: Creating the bot and linking to LUIS
- Mission 2: Getting news from Earth through the bot
- Mission 3: Identifying objects using the Computer Vision API (DIY Challenge)
- Bonus: Connecting the bot to other channels
You can find the finished project in the Finished folder but try to see whether you can get there yourself without cheating.
