Welcome to this course! In this course you will learn how to code a production-ready bot with discord.js and the recommended package to build slash commands, which is the @discordjs/builders. The latter implements a design pattern called the “builder” pattern, which makes it easier to build objects of classes. We will also not waste time and deploy our bot to Heroku as soon as we can. This is always one of the first steps you wanna do and we’ll do it with CD (continuous deployment) by connecting Heroku to our GitHub repo. Many tutorials out there show you how to code bots without a structure and deploy it to… Replit? In this course that’s not the case! We’ll learn many things that will help you be a better software developer in general. You’ll not only learn to code a bot, you’ll learn best practices like creating a bot for development and another one for production. We’ll do it just as if we were going to build a web app!
