ABSTRACT

When we talk about “devices,” we should not constrain ourselves to smart phones and tablets. With the development of the Internet and telecommunication technologies, the number and types of devices that are capable of connecting and communicating with each other are constantly growing. These devices are playing increasingly important roles in various areas such as telemetry, automatic control, logistics, robotics, and artificial intelligence. In this chapter, we first provide a brief overview of Internet of Things (IoT). Then, we analyze the relationship between IoT and cloud. Finally, we study IoT developer experiences provided by Microsoft.
