The truth is — anyone who tells you they’ve got IoT all figured out is lying. While no one can “know it all”, Breadware is the most complete resource for all things related to product development and the Internet of Things (IoT).
We’ve selected pieces that answer the biggest questions you may have about IoT product development and put them in one place:
The basics: What is IoT?
In a simple sentence, IoT means any device or product that is connected to the Internet. Our article answering the question, “What is IoT?” outlines the basics of the Internet of Things, clarifying confusing jargon (i.e. “Smart” vs “Connected” vs “IoT” products) and explaining the benefit of IoT for businesses and consumers.
How can YOU use it?
