Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hiya! I'm Emily, a senior double-majoring in computer science and Japanese. I was raised speaking only English in the northeastern US. I've been learning Japanese since middle school, and now I'm fairly proficient in it thanks to a variety of resources. I hope to share these resources with everyone in my SPLASH class!

In my spare time, I like to throw cards, eat, and sleep.

M5698: Intro to Discord Bots in Splash Spring 2017 (Apr. 22 - 23, 2017)

Discord is a chat service, like Skype or Facebook Messenger. You can join a group chat, and sometimes there are users with a BOT tag - these users are bots. Often these bots do fun things like post pictures at your request or help the admins organize the server. They can respond to messages and enter voice chat. How do these bots work? What can they do? What sorts of concerns should I have when using free online bots? How can I build one? In this class, we will learn about how bots work, build a simple Discord chatbot, learn some Javascript, make our basic bot better, and discuss further extensions you could build. It will be open discussion/building after that. We will be using Chromebooks provided by the Splash program, but you may bring your own laptop if you want to. If you bring your own laptop and want to run code directly on your machine, please download and install NodeJS from nodejs.org before class. ** YOU MUST HAVE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS YOU CAN ACCESS DURING THE CLASS **
