We are putting more computers in more places than ever before. Everything from washing machines to parking meters are becoming “smart”. Tom will show us how JavaScript is playing an important role in the Internet of Things. We’ll explore what the Internet of Things is and how the event driven nature of JavaScript makes whole new classes of application possible. Expect exciting on-stage demos.
