$Bot->onCommand('start', function (Message $message) {
    $message->reply('Hey! Nice to meet you. Use /info to know more about me.');
});

$Bot->onCommand('info', function (Message $message) {
    $message->reply('Well, I\'m just an example, but you can learn more about NovaGram at novagram.gaetano.eu.org');

Why another PHP library?

I decided to build my own php library for telegram bot api because all the libraries i found on the web made it difficult even to do the simplest things, such as a sendMessage.
NovaGram is built in order to bring a lightweight alternative to make bots, so that it is simple for beginners, but powerful for who already knows how to implement it.
