Java and the Internet of Things

Track: Cloud Technology

Abstract

Java is the powerhouse of enterprise app development, but it's also a player in the world of connected devices. Today's active projects include deep sea fleet management, healthcare interoperability, environmental management, smart home devices, and more.

In this session, we present a brief survey of the role of Java in IoT applications. Then, we demonstrate the principles of IoT development with live coding and physical devices. (Yes, we have props!) If the Internet behaves itself, we show you how devices use the cloud to communicate with one another.
