MAIN PRESENTATION

Building Arduino Code in the Cloud for the Internet of Things

Installing messy toolchains and clunky software is the status quo when it comes to developing for electronics and the Internet of Things. Its even more complicated when youre just getting started in programming electronics. Relying on cloud services to get your code ready for microcontrollers can save time, and can even bring programming for hardware into the browser. Come learn how to set up Azure VMs to compile microcontroller code for you via a simple API call! Well cover everything starting with an intro to devops on Azure VMs, followed by rolling your own minimal API layer and getting it all to run securely. Therell be some fun Arduino demos to show whats possible!
