How to Raise a Robot Army over #100DaysofCode

A pythonic introduction to building bots when you are starting from scratch. In this talk we’ll look at how they work, what they can be used for, and see some demo’s to play with.

Imagine you have a 100 days and your only directive is that you must spend at least an hour a day in the code. Could you build an army of bots and take over the world?

Recently I’ve taken part in the #100DaysOfCode Challenge, which is designed to help beginners get started with meaningful and fun activities, even when they have no previous knowledge.

Together we’ll cover the basics of bot building and go under the hood to look at the code and the basic architecture that holds it together. We’ll examine some of the bots you can build and by the end of the session you’ll be able to start building your own robot minions.
