RE: 🤖 TUTORIAL - Beginner friendly - Building bots With steem-js #2

in #utopian-io7 years ago

I always dream of having my own (bid)bot. I'm not technical enough though. Neither I have enough steem power. But I'm trying so hard to increase it. Once I am capable to do it I'll do it. But what do you think I should learn to do all technical stuffs on my own ? What skills should I have ? I just want want your thought on it.

Sort:  

hey it's totally possible to make your own bid bot, I have it inline as part of this series although it won't be as advanced as some of the bid bots (the tutorial would be too long). Should be tue or wed next week.

There are great tools for the steem blockchain in javascript and python. I would recommend to start learning either of those languages. Any programming will help because building something like a bit bot is more about concepts and problem-solving. Learning to figure out what needs to happen in what order then matching up the available tools to those steps.

You can learn a lot from trial and error, copy the finished code here and open it up in your browser. Try changing a name or changing 'vote' and see what breaks, then reset and try again.

Thanks, man. This is so fascinating. I was already planning to learn JavaScript and as you said it will help me in building bid bot, I got motivated. I didn't know that before. Gotta start it from the scratch. Thanks again.
