Internet of Things (IOT)

With rapid digital transformation and higher connectivity, the Internet of Things is all set to deepen its roots in our industries as well as our lives.  The internet of things (IoT) is a term used to describe the growing network of appliances, homes, and various “smart objects" that communicate with each other to automate and optimize performance. 

The IOT stream involves network specialists who manage connectivity, data analysts who gather data from the devices and interpret it as well as engineers who create the platforms, software, hardware, and systems that allow these devices to function.  

IOT developers focus primarily on the last category which mostly involves  programming software that allows the device at hand to both connect with other systems and function properly on its own. IOT developers are also expected to interface with other devices, create embedded software that’s cloud-compatible and so on.
