Intel Edison e Node.js

Node.js is one of the most interesting development and runtime environment that you can see around, today.

One of the really interesting thing is that you can use JavaScript, in Node environment, to develop a full system made by several layer.
Exactly the same environment and language in different layers.

And, what is more interesting in the IoT space, is that Node.js is well supported in embedded device.

For example, there is a very good support in the Intel Edison Board.

so, just for example, you can develop a Node application that runs on the Edison, reads values from connected sensors, sends the redings as MQTT messages and a Node Application on a IoT Gateway (for example based on RPI) read this values and does whatever you need.

Cool!
