Hacking appliances and prototyping next gen tech with Netduino and Xamarin

NOTE: This is being hosted by the Hosted by the Bay Area .NET group. Please RSVP on their meetup page: https://www.meetup.com/BayNET/events/251695696/

The hardware revolution is just beginning. Nest, Ring, Mellow -- these are just the tip of the iceberg. Advances in hardware and software have opened a new world of connected possibilities that extends beyond just the consumer and into the industrial and commercial IoT world. And if you can develop apps, you can build hardware!

Come and get inspired to build your own connected things as the speaker walks through hacking household appliances into connected things that you can control with your phone using Netduino and Xamarin.

Come learn how Netduino.Foundation (http://Netduino.Foundation) makes creating connected things in C# a piece of cake, with a massive library of peripheral drivers for sensors, LCDs, etc., and a handrolled API that makes building smart hardware a plug and play experience.
