bot programming serial

Stefan,

is it posible to create some serial how to create own bots step by step?

I have idea about some first lessons:

1. software needed to develop bots, how we can install SDK to development environment

2. theory - classes - what they do, which is needed for what, what we need to run our bot, some basic structure of bot

3. one example of bot with explanation of each row (Hello world)

4. another more complicated bot with comments

5. theory - what kind of data BF API offer and how can we work with this information

...

Maybe it can be good start for beginners. What do you thing about it?

    Thank you for useful links. Hello Betfair is very easy and simple bot to understand but other examples are quite specific and quite complicated to understand when you want to start with bot programming. There is no problem from my side to use C# syntax, it is difficult to me to find the right command which I want to use.

    If you have a minute I will be very pleasant when you can answer some elementary starting questions (provide related part of code please):

    1. how to read selected runner back or lay price from BF?

    2. how to show in BFE runner name, back and lay price?

    3. how to simply place bet to selected market? (only placing - there is expected that placed criteria was reached)

    4. how to check if placed bet was matched?

    5. how to update the unmatched bet?

    6. how to place opposite bet (placed Lay @3,8 -> want to place Back @4,4 in current price)?
