 # Creating a Basic Skill
 We will create a basic skill that makes opsdroid answer the text "how are you". This skill will be very similar to the [hello skill](docs/extending/skills/#hello-world) found in the documentation.
+The video tutorial for creating your own skill is also available [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk7JN4e5l_4&index=3&list=PLViQCHlMbEq5nZL6VNrUxu--Of1uCpflq)

 ## The Skill folder
 Opsdroid skills are located inside a folder with the name `skill-<skillname>`. Inside this folder you should have at least these files:

 The configuration of opsdroid is done in a yaml file called `configuration.yaml`.  When you run opsdroid it will look for the file in the following places in order:

 Configuration options such as the `token` in the slack connector or the `host`, `port` and `database` options in the mongo database are specific to those modules. Ensure you check each module's required configuration items before you use them.
 
+## Asynchronous functions(Asyncio)
+In a standard sequential program, all the instructions you send to the interpreter will be executed one by one. It is easy to visualize and predict the output of such a code. But let’s say you have a script that requests data from 3 different servers. Sometimes the request to one of those servers may take unexpectedly too much time to execute. Imagine that it takes 10 seconds to get data from the second server. While you are waiting, the whole script is actually doing nothing.
+
+What if you could write a script that, instead of waiting for the second request, simply skip it and start executing the third request, then go back to the second one, and proceed from where it left off? That’s the nature of an asynchronous program. You minimize idle time by switching tasks.
+
+An asynchronous function in Python is typically called a 'coroutine', which is just a function that uses the async keyword, or one that is decorated with @asyncio.coroutine. Either of the functions below would work as a coroutine and are effectively equivalent in type:
 
+```
+async def ping_server(ip):  
+    pass
+
+@asyncio.coroutine
+def load_file(path):  
+    pass
+```
 
 ## Matchers available
 Matchers are used to match a message, sent by a user, to a connector and a skill. Opsdroid comes ready with 8 different matchers, each one of them has its own settings and specification.
