In this talk\, intended for software and hardware developers interested in voice control\, home automation\, and personal assistant t echnology\, we will walk through the development of a new Alexa skill an d incorporate it into a consumer-facing device. \;\n \;\nThe talk will be followed by lunch and an afternoon of hacking. Finish off the da y with dinner and incredible prizes sponsored by Amazon. \;\n \;\n Alexa is the speech and personal assistant technology behind Amazon Echo . Today you can use Alexa to listen to music\, play games\, check traffi c and weather\, control your household devices such as Philips Hue and B elkin WeMo\, and lots more. Alexa offers a full-featured set of APIs and SDKs that you can use to teach her new skills and add her into devices and applications of your own. \;\n \;\nWorried that your just a b eginner and not much of a coder? Don t be! This Hackathon will be suit able for beginners and pros alike. We have examples and tutorials that will get you up to speed with creating your own amazing voice activated Alexa “Skills” for the Echo – come learn and make new nerdy coder friend s! Any experience with JavasScript or Python will be a plus but we have a repository of examples you can simply modify to make your own publish able Alexa Skill. Drop in\, bring your laptops\, your friends\, and ple nty of time to hack some uber code and hear what Echo has to say.\n\nTag s: Echo\, Alexa\, javascript\, python\, Hackster\, amazon\, development\ , Programing\, hacking\, hackathon\n\nImported from: http://calagator.or g/events/1250470362 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hackster-amazon-present-alexa-skill-buil ding-101-tickets-25747743193#tickets SUMMARY:Alexa Skill Building 101 LOCATION:Taborspace: 5441 SE Belmont St\, Portland\, Oregon 97215 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160929T203405Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161022T160000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20161022T100000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160929T203405Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160929T203405Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470894 DESCRIPTION:At DevelopmentNow\, we like learning how to use and program n ew technology\, and the ability to write skills for Amazon's Alexa assis tant is pretty exciting.
