Microsoft Bot Framework - Development Environments

Viewed 340

I started learning Microsoft bot and coming across different environments to build and test. I am trying to understand the exact purpose of all environments.

Bots can be developed using Visual Studio using c# or Node.js in our local machine after downloading the Bot Template. Also, It can be tested in our local development machine using the Bot Emulator. I am clear till this point.

In one article, I could see that Bots can be built using https://dev.botframework.com/bots. When should we go for this environment?

Also, Bot Service can be enabled in Azure (portal.Azure.com). How it differs from the previous dev.botframework.

Can someone clarify?
