At the Build 2016 conference, Microsoft announced the Microsoft Bot Framework, a package of tools for building intelligent bots that could be integrated with a variety of communication platforms. With Microsoft Bot Framework Succinctly, you can jump right into building your own bots with the framework, whether you want to make bots for personal use only, or customer-facing bots for your business. Author Ed Freitas provides clear guidance from setting up a bot project in Visual Studio and writing your first bare-bones bot, to publishing one capable of searching for current flight prices.

News  

• As a site visitor, I can read current news on the home page.
  
• As a site visitor, I can access old news that is no longer on the home page.
  
• As a site visitor, I can email news items to the editor. (Note: this could just be an email link to
  
• the editor.)
  
• As a site a site editor, I can set the following dates on a news item: Start Publishing Date, Old
  
• News Date, Stop Publishing Date. These dates refer to the date an item becomes visible on the site (perhaps next Monday), the date it stops appearing on the home page, and the date it is removed from the site (which may be never).
  
• As a site member, I can subscribe to an RSS feed of news (and events? Or are they separate?).
  
• As a site editor, I can assign priority numbers to news items. Items are displayed on the front page based on priority.  
  

 So you have in your hand tons of data, with a number of variables, that you have to somehow relay to somebody else. Raw, unorganized data is going to be difficult for them to understand. This is why you need help from charts. In web design, charts are one of the best tools for data visualization. It is easy to read, easy on the eyes and relatively easy to set up.
