John Iwasz - Alexa Skill Development with C#
Sanjeev Surati - Whetstone Technologies
More than an introduction into building Alexa skills. This session covers how to stand up an Alexa skill in C# and includes:
- best practices to store user data between sessions
- how to access the user's personal data like the zip code and email (with permission)
- nameless invocation
- how to give your skill a voice other than Alexa's
The Whetstone.Alexa Nuget package contains classes for serializing and deserializing Alexa messages.
