FAQs
Our workshops are specifically designed to give developers the knowledge and tools needed to build, publish, and maintain successful Alexa skills. They are a good fit for anyone who has programming experience and an aptitude for learning new technologies.
You will want to have some basic programming experience. Amazon's skill development tools are made to interface with either Node.js, Python, or C#, so in order to be successful, students must have a grasp of the fundamentals in one or more of these languages.
Prior to the workshop, we recommend you create an AWS profile if you don't already have one. While it's free to do so, it does require a credit card.
No, there will not be any assigned homework during the program. However, attendees are free to continue working on their own Alexa skills during downtime.
Workshop sizes range from 30 to 45 people.
At the end of these three days, you will know how to design, build, test, and publish an Alexa skill on the Amazon store. You will also learn how to update and perform maintenance on your skill once published.
The Alexa Bootcamp gives you the opportunity to network with other professional and expand your skills, meaning you're better positioned to land a role with top employers in your industry.
