How we'll build one

For this workshop, we'll start by making a simple template bot that tweets the text of a book 140 characters at a time. Then, we'll change its behavior to make a new bot. To do this we will:

• Make an account on PythonAnywhere

Clone the bot template from GitHub and find a book for it to tweet

• Set up a Twitter acount for the bot
• Test that the bot can tweet to the account we set up for it
• Schedule the bot to run once per day (we'll go over paid hosting options that will allow you to tweet multiple times per day)
• Come up with interesting ideas and implement them!
• Add the bot to the Bot Wiki (extra credit)
