**Coding 101 (Audio)**

Join Father Robert Ballecer and Lou Maresca on *Coding 101*, a weekly instructional, project-oriented programming show with appeal for beginning to intermediate programmers. Using a combination of classroom-style teaching, guest programmers, and special interest segments, *Coding 101* offers beginner, intermediate, and “applied” programming topics within several interchangeable modules. Learn programming languages such as Java, C++, Visual Basic, PHP, Perl, and more!

Although the show is no longer in production, you can enjoy episodes from the TWiT Archives.

Internet of Things

Quote from Clemens Vaster (Principle Architect on Microsoft Azure IoT):

"The Internet of Things takes IT to the heart of companies' core businesses, into our homes, and -- in the health industry -- quite literally to our hearts"

IoT Devices are used to

harvest large amounts of personal information. (no wonder we want to secure the data)
IoT and Wearables Track things our bodies, our locations, how many steps we've taken and where, what our heart rate is, blood pressure and more. Most of these devices come with GPS sensors, motion sensors, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
Secure at the device transmission level and at the service level.
Microsoft Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) - Azure for IoT
SDL is a software development process that helps developers build more secure software and address security and privacy compliance requirements which also helps reduce development costs
SDL is made up of seven phases, including training for developers and program managers in the foundational concepts, building secure software that protects privacy, and responding to security and privacy incidents when they occur.
Phases: Response, Release, Verification, Implementation, Design, Requirements and Training.

Amazon Cloud for IoT
Amazon Web Services provides tools to protect data in transit, and at rest. AWS provides Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control who accesses data, a Secure Token Service (STS), built in encryption on all of our storage options, services for key rotation, Amazon Cognito for securing your mobile infrastructure, and hardware security modules for tamper-resistant key storage. AWS also provides protected, monitored, and secured facilities where your data is stored so you can increase your data security while moving to the cloud.

Do we need standards to ensure data is secured?

IoT - Securing your Personal Data

Don't include any personally ID'able info on your wearable.
Unique Complex Password (no brainer, but had to be said)
Turn of Wi-fi and Bluetooth when not needed to sync.
Example permissions of apps when installed, data collection could be one of them
Social Sharing - Be cautious!

C101 54: Smitty - Embedded Programming 1/4 - Embedded programming with Arduino. Feb 12, 2015

Internet of Things

Approximately 4.9 billion connected devices in use in 2015
1 in 5 developers now work on IoT projects
~19 million developers worldwide, ~19% are doing IoT related-work, up 2% from last year

Examples of increased Efforts

Connected Kitchens - Gartner projects sensors in devices that could result in 15% savings in the food and beverage industry by in the next 5 years.

Where is the Real Money in the IoT?

Services that pull and house the data!
IoT standards are in flux, some very complex, but there will always be data
Gartner projects IoT will add $1.9 trillion in value to businesses
Vertical integration of sensors with business services will dominate IoT

AoT or Analytics of Things

Connecting inanimate objects and sensors to the Internet is only the first step. The term AoT points to the fact that IoT devices generate a lot of data that must then be analyzed to be useful.

Pattern recognition - identifying patterns and developing statistical models that explain variations
Anomaly detection - identifying situations that are outside of defined boundaries, such as a temperature that is too high or the presence of an individual in an area that should be uninhabited
Predictive asset maintenance - detecting potential problems in machinery before they occur
Optimization - optimizing automated processes, such as cutting logs at a lumber mill or calibrating machinery in a factory
Prescription - recommending the best course of action for a given situation, often for front-line workers, as when weather and soil sensing is used for "prescriptive planting" by farmers
Situational awareness - piecing together seemingly disconnected events and explaining them, as when a series of oil temperature readings in a car, combined with dropping fuel efficiency, indicate it's time for an "oil change"

Ur/Web

Ur/Web wants to make web programming easier and more secure.

In designing a web site, a programmer often needs to juggle multiple services, languages and technologies.
For Example:
- You've got CSS that control page style
- XML
- SQL or MySQL database queries
- JavaScript + Java
- Silverlight
- A service for ad service
- Widgets
It's easy to get lost in all the different tech confused -- OR WORSE CASE... you leave a few things a little more open than they should, because you're not sure how the different elements will interact with one another.

Now a new programming language called Ur/Web promises to make the process easier.

It uses a STRONGLY TYPED language and "Variable Scoping" to make sure data stays where it's supposed to be.
It also allows the developer to design in a single interface and Ur/Web will bring in the disparate pieces as needed.
