IOT101 - Internet of Things (IoT) Programming

We had a great IOT course yesterday! It was a fun and exciting 2-day course where participants tried interfacing the Raspberry Pi 2 with various sensors and sending the data to a MySQL database backend. Participants also learned how to network multiple Raspberry Pis with sockets programming in Python and built a smoke detection system that raises an alarm when the smoke level reaches a particular threshold.

If you have missed yesterday's run, no worries! Here are the next 2 runs of the course:

Course Highlight - Windows Phone 8

While Microsoft may not be winning the smartphone platform war today, it is slowly making inroads into the various markets previously dominated by iPhone and Android. Today's biggest news - Russia's largest wireless carrier has just dropped support for iPhone in favor of Windows Phone.

In the smartphone war, apps play a pivotal role in determining the success or failure of a platform. While the quantity and quality of the apps in the Windows Phone Store are still no match to its competitors, it is slowly but surely attracting top app makers into making apps for it. Just this week, Viber has updated its Windows Phone app that is specifically designed for Windows Phone devices. 

Good News for Windows Phone Developers (or wannabe)!

For a limited time, the annual subscription fee for a Windows Phone Dev Center account has been reduced to $19 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency).
