Learn how to install, configure and even contribute to hubot.
Learn Hubot the Hard Way is an independently written book about hubot. I chose to write the book because I want to help more people and companies deploy and use hubot to automate mundane tasks and create a more relaxed and fun working environment.
I would also love to see many more people contribute scripts to the hubot scripts repository. Even maybe contribute to the core of hubot as well. So the late chapters of the book are dedicated to helping people learn how to write their own scripts and how the internals of hubot actually work.
Learn how to install hubot locally or deploy to Heroku for free.
Learn how to use hubot with another adapter such as IRC.
Learn what hubot scripts are and how to pick and choose the ones you want to use.
Learn how to write your first hubot script and all the tools available to making your ideal scripts.
Learn how to use the built in HTTP server in hubot to expose URLs that you can use as HTTP endpoints or serve HTML content.
Learn how to contribute your hubot scripts directly back to hubot.
Learn how companies and people are using hubot to help run their companies.
Learn what makes hubot tick internally, you'll learn everything there is to know about how hubot works so you can help contribute features and fixes to the core.
