Clockwork and Its Tools - Open Source Software to Make Things More Easily

Explore the open-source Clockwork programming tool designed to simplify complex system development in this 42-minute conference talk from linux.conf.au. Learn how Clockwork's machine-based approach allows for easier modeling of interconnected parts, monitoring, and system-wide performance management. Discover examples of programming 'things' using common C/Python tools and Clockwork, including sensor data reading, device control, and IoT interface implementation. Understand how Clockwork's compilation capabilities enable code execution across various devices, from 8-bit Arduinos to Linux hardware. Delve into the benefits of Clockwork's state-based modeling, which simplifies parallel and real-time control of interacting system components. Gain insights into Clockwork's features, such as state change monitoring, comprehensive debugging, and web-based display capabilities. Learn about the language's unique approach to system construction, emphasizing description over implementation details, making it accessible for both experienced and novice programmers.
