Hello Jamie,
Thank you so much for developing these classes. They are great pointers for a beginner like myself.
On the one hand, I like that you include demos in the class because they are very good visual ways to see what should happen for the bot to run.
On the other hand, I find myself a bit lost when following your steps to create my own bot and deploying it.
Below are my two suggestions:
1. share the code you have used in the course for the students to study and try it themselves. I had to pause the video to take screenshots/type the code into my VS to follow. It is a bit tedious.
2. in the demos, it sometimes assume that we had previous knowledge. For example, in the deploy to Azure lecture, i saw that you had the resources and bot apps created at the beginning. However, when I tried to catch up following your steps, i was stuck in many different spots.
I thought it would have been a 101 type of lecture following which i would have gained knowledge on how to do it from scratch, but I was still faced with many challenges and questions.
I hope this feedback can help improve the content.
