I’ve had a few ideas run through my head, thinking about learning to program an Alexa skill or two. But I haven’t programmed in about 30 years, back when I learned Basic. JSON doesn’t seem too hard though. Anyone else worked with the system?

Alexa recently became capable of understanding my four year-old son (or rather, my son just became comprehensible to Alexa), so while I’m not expecting any deliveries of creamed corn, I would not be surprised to find a shipment of “two and a hundred pounds” of M&Ms on my doorstep one morning.
Amazon is currently running a contest for coding Alexa skills for kids - $250,000 in prize money. I have an idea I’m working on… just need to learn to code!
