Learn to build software that works on embedded devices using the .NET nanoFramework, a free and open-source framework for writing C# for microcontrollers. Whether you are working on an embedded electronic device or an Internet of Things (IoT) device, this book will help you develop software efficiently (and cheaper) when compared to traditional methods.

By using C# along with the tools and features of the .NET ecosystem, you ll find a pleasant, friendly, and efficient developer experience which will boost your productivity and decrease the time to market. You can address customer requirements in a much more flexible manner, come up with a proof of concept in a very short time, and even move between hardware platforms without having to rewrite code.

What You Will Learn

• Explore the entire .NET nanoFramework
• Develop software for Internet of Things (IoT) devices including sensors, wearables, robotics, and more

• Leverage a wide range of cheap boards from Espressif (ESP32), ST Microelectronics, Silicon Labs, Texas Instruments, and more
