(turn) Microsoft borrowing power. NET open source cross-platform support, layout of IoT platform development

The biggest news of today's technology is Microsoft's announcement. NET Development Framework Open source program. NET open source, integrated Clang and LLVM and comes with an Android emulator, which means that visual Studio is not one of the best Ides to write Android and IOS programs in the present--visual Studio and. NET are really starting to move across the platform. Nadella said "Move first, cloud first" and "find Microsoft's original essence" finally connected to a line. (See the relevant News link for details: http://www.cnbeta.com/articles/345617.htm).

Meanwhile, the father of the. NET Micro Framework, Colin Miller, also made a high-profile comeback, releasing a cominghome-titled Post on November 11, claiming that Microsoft's new program will increase its commitment to the. NET Micro Framework , in-depth development in the areas of smart devices and the Internet of things. Because of this, so after two years of leaving, rejoin the leadership. The next development of the NETMICRO framework. (See also: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/netmfteam/archive/2014/11/11/coming-home.aspx) for related posts.

At present, the future development platform of the Internet of Things is no more than three levels: cloud, mobile portal, end.

On the cloud platform, Microsoft's strategic vision and practical implementation are relatively in place, at least the technology and overall layout is not backward. But in the mobile portal (mobile phone, tablet), get up early, catch a night set, pull a huge Nokia to cushion back, also did not escape from the defeat. So now announcing open source. NET, support for Android and iOS development, is to make a difference in mobile portals (some of the most recent Office products are also available for these embedded platforms for free). The rest is the end, which does not refer to devices such as sensors, but refers to the access side, although the. NET Micro Framework was designed for smart device development. But with the advent of the Internet of things, the diversity of access devices, and the complexity of communications, the. NET Micro Framework, which is easy to develop and easy to debug, is revitalized. Microsoft re-attaches. Netmicro Framework, Cloud + end at the same time, in the era of the Internet of things, the odds will be a bit more.

In recent years, arm through the introduction of the cortex series of products, at the hardware level, as far as possible to unify the core functions of different manufacturers of chips, in addition, through the cmsis middleware, wiping out the various manufacturers chip differences, leveraging mbed and COAP technology to provide IoT development support (related details, See last year's blog post: http://blog.csdn.net/yfiot/article/details/17006331). Through the development of js,html5,c/c++ and other languages, through the open Source Library, through several years of efforts, gradually formed a relatively complete IoT development system. However, the development of C/D, development threshold is relatively high, debugging and maintenance is not too convenient, for Microsoft this easy-to-use company, the Internet of Things is full of opportunities.

The Internet of things from cloud to end, to mobile phones, to tablets, various hardware and software platforms, with the help of. NET development, through a unified development tool, unified development of language, spend the minimum cost to complete the overall development-at least this is what I see now, the most attractive prospect.
