Internet of Programmable Things

Explore the future of connected devices in this 48-minute conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2015. Dive into the challenges of developing software for embedded systems and discover how to transform the "internet of throwable things" into the "internet of programmable things." Learn about microcontrollers, productive development environments, and virtual machine optimization. Examine concepts like reflection over wire protocols, dynamic dispatching, and shared state concurrency. Get hands-on with the Fletch SDK for Raspberry Pi 2 and see practical demonstrations of running code and controlling hardware. Gain insights from Google software engineer Kasper Lund on creating more programmable and user-friendly Internet of Things devices.
