What exactly is Software Development for IoT?

Question

I am looking forward to understanding what software development for IoT is all about.

What exactly is software engineering for IoT all about?

How different is it from the traditional software development?

Answer 1

The biggest difference is hardware constraints. A thermostat hanging on your wall is clearly going to have less processing power and memory space than your desktop computer. That will clearly affect the way you program it.

If you want to explore IoT software development yourself, just buy an Arduino starter kit and play around with lighting up LED's or running small motors.
