From the course: Microsoft Teams Bot Development

Bot Builder SDK

- [Instructor] Now that you have a basic understanding of what bots are, let's also understand how Microsoft is helping us build bots, and that is through the BotBuilder SDK. Now, I must tell you one thing that this is not a course on BotBuilder SDK or the Bot Framework. There are many other courses on LinkedIn, and other resources on the Internet that will take you deep into those topics. I'm going to cover the bare minimum introduction to the Bot Framework and BotBuilder SDK you need in this course, so you can understand building bots for teams, so feel free to watch along. If you've never watched a course on bots, that's okay, but I encourage you to watch a course on bots in addition to my course. So, with that, let's talk about the BotBuilder SDK. The BotBuilder SDK is a framework for constructing bots, and it's available in .NET, Node.js, or you can make simple REST calls as well, and then there is the Bot Service, which is an integrated environment that leverages the BotBuilder SDK. The Bot Service is used for bot development, building, connecting, debugging, testing, all those other nice things.
