One In Five Developers Now Works On IoT Projects

dcblogs writes Evans Data Corp., which provides research and intelligence for the software development industry, said that of the estimated 19 million developers worldwide, 19% are now doing IoT-related work. A year ago, the first year IoT-specific data was collected, that figure was 17%. But when developers were asked whether they plan to work in IoT development over the next year, 44% of the respondents said they are planning to do so, said Michael Rasalan, director of research at Evans.

    Talkie Toaster: "Any question?"
    Holly: "Yes."
    Talkie Toaster: "How to break the speed of light? How to marry quantum mechanics and classical physics? Any question at all, truly anything and you will answer?"
    Holly: "Yes."
    Talkie Toaster: "OK, here's my question: Would you like some toast?"
    Holly: "No, thank you. Now ask me another."
    Talkie Toaster: "Do you know anything about the use of chaos theory in predicting weather cycles?"
    Holly: "I know everything there is to know about chaos theory and predicting weather cycles"
    Talkie Toaster: "Oh, very well. Here's my second question: Would you like a crumpet?"
    Holly: "I'm a computer with an I.Q. of 12,000. You don't seem to understand; I know the meaning of the universe."
    Talkie Toaster: "That's not answering my question."
    Holly: [irritated] "No, I would not like a crumpet! Now ask me a sensible question, preferably one that isn't bread related."
    Talkie Toaster: "Very well. I have a third question. A sensible question. A question that will tax your new I.Q. to its very limits and stretch the sinews of you knowledge to bursting point."

    Talkie Toaster: Certainly not. And I resent the implication that I'm a one-dimensional, bread-obsessed electrical appliance."

    I was actually thinking about leveraging the parallel symmetries that exist between the paradigm shifting next generation technology that is the INTERNET of THINGS and the once in a generational market disrupting future shaping technology now known as The Cloud to achieve never before seen levels of synergy, segment alignment and leading edge thought processes, allowing us to disrupt old world dinosaur markets and take us into the new age of Big Data.
