ChicagoRuby: Downtown - Ruby and the Internet of Things

Ruby and the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is receiving a ton of attention in the press. What does IoT mean for Ruby developers? How can someone with a web development background begin exploring IoT? And why would a web developer care? Come prepared with questions of your own!

To get a head-start on the presentation, watch Parallella in Five Minutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4j-uj_r1xg), a 5-minute video about an 18-core $150 computer that runs Linux.

About the Presenter
Ray Hightower (https://twitter.com/rayhightower) is founder of WisdomGroup, organizer of ChicagoRuby, and producer of WindyCityRails and WindyCityThings (http://windycitythings.com/).

After most downtown meetings we head over to Elephant & Castle (185 N. Wabash) for refreshments & fellowship. Join us for a few minutes if you have time.

Please use your real name when you RSVP for downtown ChicagoRuby meetings. Reason: We are required to give a list of all attendees to the security desk prior to the meeting. If the name on your ID doesn't the match the name on the RSVP list, then Aon security will not let you in the building. Sorry for the inconvenience, but those are the rules of the Aon Building.

WindyCityRails
Level up your skills. WindyCityRails is Chicago's Ruby on Rails conference, happening in September.
