That was really good. I believe all the basics were covered, and I can try to make my own bots now. To me, I’ve just miss some topic about deploying the bot. But the content are still great!

Thanks for creating this. This course is helping me make the transition from being a syntax jockey to actually learning how to create things with code. Also, it has opened up the possibility for me to put a bot in my son’s Discord server, which is going to be fun!
