Instructions for Using the Metro in DC

Before you Go...

• Make sure you have google maps on your phone. When you ask Google Maps for directions, it will give you an option to use public transportation and will tell you how to get there by metro. It will also show a big "M" in a square in locations where you can find a metro station.
• Have a printed copy of the DC Metro map. It's very handy for when you are unfamiliar with the sytem (big pdf or smaller for printing).
• Download either the Lyft or Uber app to your phone, and go through the steps to set up your account. You will have to provide a credit card. You may not use these services at all, but when you need them, they are a total lifesaver. More details on this below.

Alexa, build me an app

Building an Amazon Echo (Alexa) skill is extremely simple, if a bit cumbersome. If you're not familiar, the Echo is an always-on home automation unit with built-in support for things like playing streaming music, getting weather information, and even turning on your wifi-connected lights. Amazon also allows developers to extend the Echo's functionality with custom "skills". These skills get the benefit of Amazon's full speech analysis engine and works through a simple JSON web API. In this talk we'll cover how we can use Node.js to write a simple skill and what else we need to do to get up and running. You'll learn how to test your new skill with a real voice interface and the basics of the cumbersome setup process on Amazon's developer portal along with some best practices. You don't need to own an Echo to write a skill... although they sure are fun to play with!
