Demos delivered in this session

• List Formatting Magic Tips & Tricks​ – create a list, add and format a location column.  Add a location with link to a map and then add multiple sub properties (street, state, country) under the Location’s name.  Add a weather column and formatting to display an image and details for weather.  When list items are updated, then weather entries will be updated.   Implement this today – get the address and weather samples.

• Build your first conversational chatbot for Teams – create a new bot in Composer (use Core Bot with Language template), set up Language Understanding in Azure, install the Teams package into the new project (in Composer), add triggers to operate in Teams and to receive and respond to orders.  Conduct your Pizza business via an Adaptive Card and task modules.  Build task modules using Bot Framework Composer without writing (almost) any code!
