IoT exploration at MS Canada

IoT is the next step for integration, automation and many more... With the promise of a better interoperability, it should lead to a great freedom for everyone to organize things around themselves... not to mention the analytic potential for companies in order to better understand and serve their customers.

In this session, we are going to cover all the bases about Azure IoT Hub (a cloud computing platform for building, deploying, and managing applications and services through a global network of data centers.)

The IoT Hub allows you to connect lots of different devices to Azure using modern protocols and standards and it provides APIs to manage devices and their identities. At the same time, IoT Hub has integration with Event Hub and it allows you to receive data from million devices. Finally, IoT Hub supports several SDKs that allow to satisfy all developers worldwide.

Our presenter for this meetup is Sergii Baidachnyi a principal developer evangelist at Microsoft. Currently residing in Canada, Sergii is responsible for working with the developer community and promoting client-development tools as a superior mechanism for creating cross-platform business applications.
