Presentation: Challenging the Internet of Things

Time: Wednesday 13:55 - 14:45 / Location: Promenade Ballroom B & C

The Internet of Things has expanded into a diverse array of hardware options and development routes.  Using maker favorites like Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards or even consumer models like Amazon Echo, developers can connect these devices together across the Internet to solve complex problems right from their web browser.  From Electric Imps to smart bulbs, this session will show how different devices with distinct means of development can be brought into a single, possibly wildly over-complicated, demo which combines multiple integration points all around controlling a single reported case in Salesforce.  There may or may not be zombies.
