The document discusses the Internet of Things and how devices are becoming more powerful due to Moore's Law, allowing them to perform more complex tasks. However, this increased power also means more maintenance challenges for developers. The Resin platform aims to address this by handling setup, security updates and deployments for devices, allowing developers to focus on their applications.

1. Strong
Devices,
Weakly
Connected

2. The
Internet
of
‘Thing’s?
• Typically
refers
to
everyday
items
with
added
connec=vity,
and
processing
performed
in
the
cloud.
“Fridges
that
write
shopping
lists,
ovens
that
talk
and
Bluetooth-­‐connected
toothbrushes:
welcome
to
domes=c
life
2.0
where
even
your
washing
machine
is
online.”

3. Do
Androids
Dream
of
Electric
Sheep?
• This
is
preSy
limi=ng.
More
is
possible.
• Weak
devices
are
at
the
mercy
of
network
performance
–
oUen
not
as
good
as
you
need.
• Stem
the
=de
at
the
source.
• Having
devices
smart
enough
to
make
decisions
is
a
big
win.

4. Tell
Me,
Moore
• Moore’s
Law
is
about
transistor
density.
• Usually
associated
with
exponen=al
increase
in
power.
• However,
a
natural
consequence
is
more
raw
horsepower
per
cubic
cen=metre.

14. Bang
for
Buck
• Moore
has
taken
us
to
the
point
where
=ny
computers
can
do
serious
work.
• In
1976
you
could
get
1MHz
from
25,000cm3
for
£1,650.
• In
2007
you
could
get
600MHz
from
85cm3
for
£350.
• Today
you
can
get
4x1.6GHz
from
32cm3
for
£50.

15. Real
Computers,
Real
Pain
• The
problem
with
all
this
power
is
you
now
have
Desktop
PC-­‐like
maintenance
pains.
• Have
to
install
and
maintain
an
OS
(likely
Linux),
ensure
secure
networking,
somehow
update
deployed
code.

27. Strong
Devices,
Relaxed
Developers
• Using
stronger
devices
means
we
can
use
higher-­‐level
programming
languages
like
javascript
via
node.
• This
makes
it
considerably
easier
for
the
developer
to
get
stuff
working.
• Value

29. Less
Pain
More
Gain
• Resin
lets
you
focus
on
your
applica=on
while
we
worry
about:-­‐
– Sejng
up
your
devices
– Maintaining
a
Secure
Network
– Handling
updates
so...

30. Upda=ng
Devices
from
Wherever
• ...Upda=ng
code
running
on
your
devices
doesn’t
need
you
to
run
around
with
an
SD
card.
