Getting started with IoT.

IoT - is a broad topic, I suppose you might be having some idea about IoT, and that is the reason you are curious to know more and have posted this question.

 

 Check for my articles on Csharp corner http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/internet-of-things-iot-series-i-the-buzz and my website http://hussainpatel.com

  

As you already mentioned, you are working on Microsoft technologies. I would suggest you start with Microsoft IoT. Here is the link. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/GetStarted 

 

Also, you might be aware that for IoT projects you have to write code and interact with hardware devices and sensor connect them. So there are open source languages like Python which you should give a thought of learning - if you plan for open source IoT projects.

 

As I mentioned above it's about hardware interaction and connection - there are a lot of companies that provide hardware and programming interfaces and also infrastructure- you can buy a variety of hardware, get sample code and tutorials and build your own IoT products. Also, a little knowledge on electronics on side by side will surely help.

 

below are the open source

Hope this helps.

Hi,

To get start with windows iot try these links:

and i learned a lot from this site ;http://thinglabs.io/workshop/thingy-4-windows/ 

Hello Bhushan,

 

To start  with ,please go for Arduino Microcontroller, not a Raspberry. Step by step approach is already available in this link(http://forefront.io/a/beginners-guide-to-arduino/).

Follow each and every step mentioned over there. It would take you till writing a basic Hello world program. 

 

For other Tutorials,Build in Libraries,Examples,Arduino IDE or software. Please follow this link

http://forefront.io/a/beginners-guide-to-arduino/ 

 

To buy your own Arduino and / or Raspberry Pi would be a good start. It is not all that expensive, actually.

 

If you need any further info, please feel free to get in touch.
