Live Webinar September 14th, 2016 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: O’Reilly

 Shayne Hodge walks participants through prototyping a simple battery-powered, cloud-connected, GPS device that communicates its position via a cellular connection.

Shayne shares the software that moves the data from the provider’s cloud into your own data store and explains ways of visualizing the data.

To provide motivation and a user story for this device, Shayne will be installing the device in his CEO’s car: he’ll get an alert when his CEO gets close to the office so he knows to stop watching cat videos and get to work.

Shayne also demonstrates passing the alert to another IoT device (a light fixture) and visualizing it on a web page and explores privacy concerns.

Code will be primarily in C++ (Particle.io), Python (Flask), and JavaScript on the frontend with PostgreSQL as the data store.

Presenter: Shayne Hodge (LinkedIn profile) had a career-defining moment when he read Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age,  and realized his interest was in the commercialization of really interesting technology. Shayne spent his early career working as an attorney in patent litigation before returning to the tech world proper in the IoT & analytics fields. Currently a data scientist at SnapLogic; he previously worked for Jut.io, Cisco Systems, and others. Shayne is a member of the IEEE and holds a BS and MS in electrical engineering, a JD, and an MBA.
