Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the Microsoft Bot Framework and explained how it helps in the development of bots.

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.
