IoT Developers, 'Focus on Your Secret Sauce'

With the help of specilized IoT platforms, developers can cut months off their time to market.

Charles Murray, Nov. 18, 2016 – 

Developers of Internet of Things (IoT) products are better served if they focus on their applications, rather than on underlying software issues, a solutions architect will tell attendees at the upcoming Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose. 

"Too many designers are keeping their heads down on the steps in front of them," Jonathan Heath, product marketing manager for Synapse Wireless, Inc., told Design News . "But they should be looking up and focusing in on the application pieces that make up their secret sauce."

Heath, who will host a session titled, Rapid IoT Software Development Using Embedded Python , said that it's tempting for experienced designers to want to do it all themselves, and then get tangled up in the complexities of routing algorithms and microcontroller interfaces. Instead, he said, it's better for developers to use existing embedded platforms that help them tie their IoT applications to the cloud.
