Wiring the Internet of Things with Node-RED - Nick O'Leary, IBM

Node-RED is an open-source visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things. Built on top of Node.js, it provides a light-weight, browser-based editor that makes it easy to integrate different streams of both physical and digital events.

It is ideal to run at the edge of the network, such as on a Raspberry Pi, but also within the cloud. It provides a framework for adding new nodes to its palette, extending its capabilities. Originally developed by IBM team, it is now a project of the JS Foundation.

The project has recently introduced version control directly within the editor allowing it to integrate closely with a developer's regular workflow.

This talk will introduce Node-RED and show how it can become an invaluable tool for creating IoT solutions. The talk will demonstrate a complete developer workflow from development to production with an application that deploys across devices.
