'Internet of Things (IoT)' has been a buzz word for quite some time now. It stresses on the importance of 'Right Data' as against 'Big Data', for real time decision making and cognitive analytics. It is radically changing the way businesses operate and people interact with the physical world. Fueled by technological innovations around Cloud and Analytic's, it is creating waves, resulting in rapid growth area for many businesses today. 

For all the enthusiastic developers, who are willing to equip their skill sets on IoT, lay their hands on connected set of physical devices, open up their innovation minds with the possibilities that can be achieved, IBM has teamed up with Coursera, to channelize the education on IoT and reduce the learning curve, to announce the availability of a new course offering 'A developer's guide to the Internet of Things (IoT)', on Coursera site.

Kevin Turner, Program Director, Innovation Strategy - IoT Developer Ecosystem, IBM, confirmed that IBM has teamed up with Coursera to deliver a developer's guide to the Internet of Things.

The course offering is designed for entry level introduction to developing solutions on Internet of Things, mainly focusing on capturing the data from interconnected set of devices and have them securely transferred to cloud platform, for further analytic's, making use of several services that are already available. The programming assignments of the course shall assist in building IoT solutions using Node-Red, a rapid application development environment, leveraging pre-built blocks of code and enabling all hands-on exercises on Raspberry Pi devices.

The course offering 'A developer's guide to the Internet of Things (IoT)', is scheduled to start in the month of May, 2016. Upon successful completion of the course, the user / attendee shall be presented with theCourse Certificate, that helps to get recognized with an achievement from IBM and Coursera.

Can't wait to lay your hands on Internet of Things? Then, get started with IBM Watson Internet of Things. There are several 'Do It Youserlf (DIY), Explore Watson IoT Platform on Raspberry Pi recipes at IBM developerWorks. Get to know in detail about Watson IoT in the Cognitive era.
