Last week I got the chance to speak at Microsoft Build, and do a first-look demo on their newly announced featured - Azure Static Web Apps. And as I didn't get access to Static Web Apps until they same time everyone else did (the day before my demo), I got to showcase how simple it was the first time you used it (ok, so maybe it was the second time that I'd used it).
Last year, for a demo at Twilio Superclass in Sydney, I built a bot that sent pictures of Quokkas when requested - Quokka on Demand (covered in Part 1 of this blog series, Building Quokka on Demand). After that was done, chatting with Phil and Devin from Twilio, they came up with a new idea - a Quokka recognising bot, something people can send pictures to, and it identifies if there's a Quokka in the photo.
Last year I got the chance to give a live demo at the Superclass at Twilio Engage in Sydney. It was a quick demo so I didn't have the chance to do much, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to show how quick it is to get started with the Twilio APIs and maybe I could put a little Perth in it. Then I came up with the idea of Quokkabot 🎉.
