Description

Microsoft's breakthrough Azure Sphere platform offers an end-to-end solution for building highly-secure IoT and edge device applications that leverage cloud communications and services. Programming Azure Sphere introduces the new programming model and best practices for developing successful Azure Sphere software (firmware), and bridges the gap between the traditionally separate disciplines of firmware and cloud development. Utilizing the proven Microsoft Press Developer Reference approach, it begins by describing the basics of a simple application, and then incrementally builds your knowledge until you're comfortable with the entire Azure Sphere API.
Expert device programmer Douglas Boling walks you through programming the powerful Azure Sphere microcontroller, securely communicating with the Azure Cloud, configuring the Azure IoT hub and provisioning service, remotely managing updates, optimizing performance and power usage in constrained environments, improving application responsiveness, and more. Throughout, extensive code examples illuminate key concepts, preparing you to build secure Azure Sphere applications that integrate IoT with the cloud, making the most of both of them.
