Information is plentiful but harder to digest In reality, this translates into a lot of book orders, blog searches, and Twitter scans. While more information is becoming available on the internet and more and more books are being published, even on topics that are relatively new, one aspect that continues to inhibit us is the inability to find concise technology overview books. We are usually faced with two options: read several 500+ page books or scour the web for relevant blog posts and other articles.

Just as everyone else who has a job to do and customers to serve, we find this quite frustrating. The Succinctly series This frustration translated into a deep desire to produce a series of concise technical books that would be targeted at developers working on the Microsoft platform. We firmly believe, given the background knowledge such developers have, that most topics can be translated into books that are between 50 and 100 pages. This is exactly what we resolved to accomplish with the Succinctly series.

Isn’t everything wonderful born out of a deep desire to change things for the better? The best authors, the best content Each author was carefully chosen from a pool of talented experts who shared our vision. The book you now hold in your hands, and the others available in this series, are a result of the authors’ tireless work. You will find original content that is guaranteed to get you up and running in about the time it takes to drink a few cups of coffee.

Microsoft describes Azure Bot Service as a comprehensive development environment that runs on Microsoft Azure, created for designing and building enterprise-grade, conversational AI. Azure Bot Service allows you to keep control of your data and simultaneously build multilingual conversational bots for different business scenarios, such as customer support, employee productivity, and sales. Azure Bot Service delivers a comprehensive development experience by providing a visual canvas called Bot Framework Composer, based on an extensible open-source tool set, providing world-class conversational AI with high-quality natural language, speech, and other Cognitive Services capabilities. When using Azure Bot Service, you keep control of your data while securely connecting to popular channels such as Skype, Microsoft Teams, Messenger, telephony, and many others. One of the critical characteristics of Azure Bot Service is that it is easy to get started. Furthermore, it comes with many prebuilt dialogs, components, and language models that empower you to create sophisticated conversational designs that include interruption handling, context switching, and cancellations in different languages and formats. Azure Bot Service includes enterprise-grade security, high availability, compliance, and manageability backed by Azure's core services by being part of Azure. Another aspect of Azure Bot Service is that after you create a conversational bot, you will deploy it to multiple channels with minimal or no changes, enabling your organization to have a real-world, everyday platform experience. Azure Bot Service is an exciting technology that allows you to create a bot with little or no code. At the same time, you could create a bot using code with some of the most popular programming languages, such as JavaScript, Python, and C#. Throughout this book, we will take a low-code/no-code approach to develop bots with the Azure Bot Service, explore some of the critical features of Bot Framework Composer, and see how to deploy to Azure and some channels. So, without further ado, let's explore what this promising technology has to offer.
