Skynet.js

We’ve been able to use JavaScript in the browser for quite some time now and even on the server it’s nothing new, but what if we could use JavaScript to control hardware? With the rise of “the Internet of Things” and the simplicity of the Arduino platform this is no longer just a dream it offers us a vast amount of possibilities. In this session we’re going to look at just the tip of the iceberg of these options (no worries, we will not create any self-aware machinery).
