Session 1 Alexa Skill Basics
The first session is Recap of Alexa Skill basics. This is hands on session. We follows Groshen Guide(Local Guide) that is one ofe alexa/cookbook. and.. built.
This is easy for already experienced people.
Session2 How to design Voice User Interface
The second session is workshop of designing conversation. That is practical workshop. We write down conversation for user and alexa with paper and pen. This is Alexa Design Guide (previous Alexa Design Process)
‘Simple and Faster for User’
This is the most important.
Session3 Building Skill
We built the skill that design on session2 at this session. and It was explained ASK CLI and ASK management which really released recently.
I think many developpers had been waited for ASK CLI. Because We can deploy Alexa Skill on CI cycle.

This session talked about data Persistently and collabrating IoT devices. It was introduced how to call external API, persistent user status, requiring data from AWS IoT.
