The Community Days
2015 have taken place in March from 24th to
26th 2015.
This meeting, which took place at the Microsoft Innovation
Campus in Peschiera Borromeo (near Linate-Milan Airport), is the
biggest event for developers and It-pro in Microsoft technologies.
The numbers are impressive: 3 session days, 15 tracks to follow,
104 sessions and 92 speakers.
Community support was very important in the collaboration for
the preparation of the event and for the engagement during the
three days event itself. All the community members are volunteers
and this means that neither the speakers nor the community members
are paid.
As usual, the event is organized by Aspitalia.com and UGIdotNET, in partnership with
Microsoft and performed by iCubed.
This year the most important news has been the Internet of
Things (IoT): a track with six sessions and a round-table.
Gianni Rosa
Gallina and I have presented the session: IOT04 -
Internet Of Things: dalla teoria alla pratica (Internet of
Things: from Theory to Practice)
We started presenting a short history of the IoT referring to
some forecast in the past years (from 2006 to 2011) about IoT and
what is nowadays situation.
After this we presented the Windows Embedded family that has an
important role in the Microsoft IoT scenario. At the end we
presented some demos on real IoT solutions at device and cloud
level.
This is the agenda of the session and our slides are available
here (
communitydays2015):
- Windows Embedded + Azure = IoT
- Internet of Things
- Microsoft Azure services for IoT
- Windows Embedded family
- The first architectural solution (Sense3)
- An Industrial solution (µCLOUD)
- DEMO
- Wearable and sensors
- Recap
At the session there were more than 40 attendees that seemed
interested and satisfied.
The whole event has been interesting both when we presented our
session and when we followed other sessions. This has been another
opportunity to meet Microsoft staff, the other speakers and the
community members and has allowed us to improve our professional
network.
I take this chance to thank:
- Daniele Bochicchio and all the organizers from Aspitalia.com,
UGIdotNET and Microsoft;
- All the speakers who welcomed us fraternally to our debut;
- All the other members of the community that made the event be
realized.
Because our big interest in following, studying and applying
everything is connected with the "Internet of things" argument,
here is a list of the events (recent and future) in which we were
or we will be involved:
- Internet of Things, Augumented reality and Wearable
devices.
