The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that conveys a lot of thoughts on technology. We often talk about it in terms of the number of devices connected to our world. For example, “Sometime in the near-to-far future, there will be 800 billion, 40 trillion, 100 gazillion devices connected to the internet.” The thought alone of that volume of anything is overwhelming.
This feeling is compounded when developers and engineers think about developing their own IoT based solutions. Developers are faced with questions like:
- what devices do I use?
- how do I write code for those devices?
- what about connecting those devices?
- how do I deploy my app to those devices?
