Hi,
I'd like to update this Amazon Echo/Alexa Smart Home Skill: https://github.com/auchter/haaska to be compaible with the SmartHome Skill v3 Payload, rather than v2 as at present.
Some details:
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smarth...atschanged
https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/alexa...-skill-api
I can code (pretty well!) in VBA; but python is a new language and it is different. In VBA I just automate manual processes. This is totally different.
I have no particular time scale in mind, since I know I need to learn a lot before I can make any progress with this (some of the changes to Alexa v2 vs v3 seem quite big). Can anyone point me to a good beginners guide on how to program in python?
I'm also curious about how to debug this code, but I assume that would be done in Amazon Developer Console.
Anyway; any help with where to get started learning python is appreciated; especially if there's a way to utilise my VBA knowledge to learn Python.
Thanks,
James
