Telegram Bot Creation with Node.js

What you leave with

• A working Telegram bot written in Node.js
• Command handling, replies, and basic conversation flow
• A project you can run locally and deploy
• Complete course files so you are never staring at a blank repo

Syllabus

1. 01

   Node.js and the Telegram bot token

   Install Node, create the project, talk to BotFather, and store the token the way a real app should.

2. 02

   First message in, first reply out

   Connect to the Telegram API, listen for updates, and send a reply you can see in the app.

3. 03

   Commands that do work

   Build /start and custom commands, parse arguments, and keep handlers clean as the bot grows.

4. 04

   Keep it running

   Polling vs webhook, env files, and a simple path to host the bot so it does not die when you close the laptop.
