What you should know
- [Instructor] For this course it's going to help if you have some programming background, and know a little bit of JavaScript, specifically Node.js. While Amazon's Alexa SDK is available in many languages, currently Node, Java, Python, C Sharp and Go, we are going to build an Alexa hosted skill, which means sticking with the default option of Node.js. Don't worry if you're not an expert. If you know enough of the syntax, the set variables and call functions, you'll have no trouble following along and getting Alexa to interpret your users phrases, and craft responses.
