IoT Hardware Platform Demos

The Internet of Things is a hot topic these days, with the IoT market slated to reach $7.2 trillion by 2020, with a value add of about $1.9 trillion. Most of what you hear is about data being gathered by devices (things) and pushed to the cloud, for analytics and even further for predictions, leading to a whole host of benefits to individuals and big companies alike, the really interesting part of IoT, however, is the "Things".

This presentation is chock-full of demos with live things doing...things. In this presentation, we'll take a look at a number of development platforms (Things, such as):

• Netduino (various versions)

• Arduino (various versions)

• Raspberry Pi

• DragonBoard 410c

• And a few others

And a whole slew of "Things" (devices) interacting with and doing things in the real world. As a software engineer, if you've felt confined to being "in-the-box", you'll feel a sense of freedom when you learn how to get an "Out of the Box" experience. Along the way, we'll dabble in some electronics and see how things merge these two very potent technologies where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
