From connecting a door lock to making a mug intelligent, programming languages are behind every IoT enabled device and service.
As coding becomes ever more important, not only to create new connected ‘things’ but also to solve eventual problems with those same ‘things’, developers have a wide range of languages to choose from.
CBR dives into the coding world of IoT to find which language best answers its needs.
C
Programming language C is undoubtedly one of the most important in the IoT ecosystem as a whole. This language is the one predominantly used for most IoT projects, especially embedded devices, and is recognised almost anywhere on the internet spectrum.
Over the years, C has been the basis or starting point for many other coding languages, making its knowledge a basic requirement for anyone in the IoT space.
C has been used with IoT boards such as Arduino for example, and even though has other languages ranking higher than itself, it is a basic programming language everyone must know.
