Looking for help with Telegram bot development

Hi everyone! I’m trying to get into building bots for Telegram and wondering if anyone here has worked with them before. I’m pretty new to this whole thing and could really use some guidance from people who actually know what they’re doing.

I’ve been reading some tutorials online but they all seem to assume you already know a bunch of stuff that I don’t. Like how do you even get started with the basic setup? What programming languages work best for this kind of project?

If you’ve built any Telegram bots yourself, I’d love to hear about your experience. What were the biggest challenges you ran into? Any tips for a beginner who’s just starting out?

Thanks in advance for any help you can share!
