The Alexa Skill Development Manual
The whole thing on about 240 pages. I had already started writing a book on the development of Alexa Skills at the end of 2017, and have been working on this topic ever since. In the meantime Amazon has not remained idle and has changed a whole series of important things in the Alexa development environment, such as the Alexa Skills Kit and the Alexa Presentation Language, as well as the SDKs for Node.js, Python, and Java introduced, the monetization enabled, the templates introduced, and so on.
At the same time skills are not just any small Java program, but integrated functions, for whose efficient development one should have good knowledge of the AWS world. At the same time you must not only pay attention to the technology, but also create a good voice user interface ... because Alexa often has no graphical user interface, and if she has one (Amazon Echo Show / Echo Spot), then you have to follow your own rules, which are given by Amazon.
Why is Amazon Alexa important?
If you combine this complexity with the statement that voice user interface design and development, as well as voice search optimization are among the big trends of the coming years, you will notice that it is a good idea to deal with Alexa. An excerpt from my book:
"Language assistants have been used more and more in recent years. If the first step towards the so-called "mobile first" was already a step that lastingly changed the online world - and our own behavior -, then the step towards the speech-oriented world of devices is another step: "Voice First". Further steps will lead to the increased use of artificial intelligence in everyday life, which can be well combined with language assistants."
