In a recent report published by Freelancer.com, it was discovered that there is a rise in data and engineering jobs as the Internet of Things (IoT) takes off.
“Things”, in IoT, refers to different internet-enabled devices, such as biochip transponders for pets and farm animals, pacemaker monitoring implants, self-driving automobiles, field operation devices similar to drones used for fire-fighting, or unmanned aircraft for surveying wildlife reserves. Current examples include smart home appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and thermostats that respond to smartphone commands. The need for these devices has caused a growth in newer, better ideas for connecting more home and office devices to smartphones.
As many employers drum up IoT innovations, the demand for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math-related skills and specialties has reached new heights. Due to this development, the industry now faces a shortage of experts across the developed world and has started calling upon freelancers to cover the bases.
Inline with this, Talino Talks presents R(IoT): A Rundown on the Internet of Things — a talk on everything there is to know about the Internet of Things.
With our speakers, Nikko Torcita of Awesomelabs, Ely Apao & Michael Albano of Jumpsparc, and Josh de la Llana of Tactiles, below are just some of the topics they will be discussing:
- Evolution of the Internet
- Existing IoT applications
- How can I start working on IoT from hobbyist to web developer
- User and Maker experiences
- Trends in hardware
- Live Demonstrations
Join us on November 26 (Wednesday) and see how you can be part of this growing industry.
