Re: IoT - Share the Knowlege
Could be kind of tough, because these are Microsoft-oriented sites.
Microsoft has shot themselves in both feet with regard to IoT: they insist on making it .Net-oriented, which means a fairly bloated device is required. And even then as they commission vendors to make a few they just as quickly deprecate them and pull support. Can you imagine using an IoT device to control something in your home or office when you know it will become unsupported in a year or less?
Of course there is still a role here for Microsoft-oriented developers. Most serious IoT efforts involve some sort of server acting as a "spider in the middle of the web."
Sadly, Microsoft pulled the pistol again and before getting it out of the holster BLAM! they took off a kneecap. They refused to offer MQTT or even an MSMQ-MQTT Bridge product standard in Windows. MQTT is where a lot of the action is currently. Instead they want to drive everyone to Azure, which as we all know is a non-starter for just about everyone. This is very similar to the deathwish they demonstrated to the world when they trashed their popular mobile platform.
The clock is really running out. If Microsoft wants to survive they need to stop picking bizarre proprietary directions and then promoting them to the exclusion of everything else that gave them the market momentum they are sucking the life out of now just to get by.
They could do far worse than outright firing Anders Hejlsberg (preferably out of a cannon).
