Hacking IOT via Bluemix PAAS with Steve Poole

Short abstract from Steve:

The internet of things - is it really that easy? Bring your laptop and your smart phone or tablet with internet connection and see for yourself.

In this hack event we'll explain the basics behind IoT, why it really is changing the world and help you get started on your IoT journey.

We'll help you build a IoT prototype, link it to some cool services on IBM's Bluemix PaaS like Watson, MQTT, Twilio, Twitter or even one of your own API's

It's amazing what's happening in this space. We'll have a few IoT devices for you to play with on the day but you can start right now by using your smart phone
