Getting Started with Building Your First IoT App

Session date: Apr 08, 2021 12:00am (Pacific Time)

If you’re an IoT developer, engineer, project owner, or business, you won’t want to miss the free ($300 value!) virtual Getting Started with Building Your First IoT App workshop on April 8. This workshop showcases a fully functional sample application called IoT Center that is built on InfluxDB. IoT Center demonstrates the capabilities of the InfluxDB platform to develop a JavaScript-enabled time-series-based application. It collects, stores and displays a set of values that include temperature, humidity, pressure, CO2 concentration, air quality, as well as provides GPS coordinates from a set of IoT devices (sensors). With this data stored in InfluxDB, the application can query it for display as well as write data back into the database.

What you'll learn

In this hands-on workshop, you will:

• Learn how to install this open source code (IoT Center) to learn how to query and write to InfluxDB using the InfluxDB JavaScript client
• Gain familiarity with Flux lang, which is designed for querying, analyzing, and acting on time series data
• Collect and visualize performance data of the Node.js application

Space is limited, so register soon to take advantage of this free 2-hour IoT workshop.
