The Internet of Things revolution contributed to boosting the features of embedded hardware technologies, making it possible to create connected solutions with high performance and low cost. However, the software barriers to entry into this new technological environment were still high. As the need for embedded programming to support the latest IoT designs grown, companies and developers were (and still are) challenged identifying the right software solutions to bring IoT to life. This is not a new dynamic for the ICT sector. Years ago, developing a mobile app required highly talented programmers with in-depth knowledge of the specific hardware. As Android™ abstracted the specific mobile phones’ proprietary architectures and reduced complexity, it made possible for a massive crowd of developers to create universally adaptable apps.
