Welcome IoT Weekly News Readers!
Another fun week with action packed coverage of IoT in this issue! I had found a few articles on the Internet of Things in 2017 which I wasn't able to fit in the last few issues, so I covered them here. I also found stories doing development that all those engineers working in the connected devices realm will enjoy. Finally, we discuss Big Data and Artificial Intelligence articles and end it off with a unique smartwatch Kickstarter project.
Be sure to submit a topic to speak at IoTFuse: Conference 2017! We are expecting more than 1000 people to register and attend the event.
Hope you enjoy this issue and please tweet it to your followers!
