== Hello, world Skill ==
 +
* What went well
 +
** A hello, world Skill is provided by the Alexa Skill Kit; all that's needed is to install it.
 +
** Installing a Skill is very easy using the Alexa Skill Kit Command Line Interface.
 +
** Modifying the Skill to add the ability to specify who to say hello to was straightforward when using the AMAZON.FirstName slot type.
 +
* What could have gone better
 +
** The initial deployment of the Skill failed as I created the Lambda function in the Canada region, which is not supported buy the Alexa service.
 +
** Using an AMAZON.SearchQuery slot did not work and it was not possible to identify the cause of the failure as there was no error message provided.

** Improve the Amazon documentation to make it clear which regions are supported by Alexa.
