Rachel spends her free time building robots, creating hardware art, and making silicone molds of her friends' faces. She got her start with NodeBots, a beginner-friendly way of creating hardware projects using JavaScript. Rachel shares how she was first introduced to the hardware world, breaks down what a simple hardware project looks like, and tells us what it was like to be one of the first beta users of Twitch.tv, back when it was called Justin.tv.

Rob and Jason are joined by Sara Chipps to discuss Jewelbots, Arduino and getting girls interested in STEM fields. Sara Chipps is a JavaScript developer based in NYC. She has been working on Software and the Open Source Community since 2001. She’s been obsessed with hardware and part of Nodebots since 2012. She is the CEO of Jewelbots, a company dedicated towards drastically changing the number of girls entering STEM fields using hardware. She was formerly the CTO of Flat Iron School, a school dedicated to teaching people of all ages how to build software and launch careers as software developers. In 2010 she cofounded Girl Develop It, a non-profit focused on helping more women become software developers. Girl Develop It is in 45 cities, and has taught over 17,000 women how to build software.

Today we talk to Kassandra Perch from Bocoup about the state of node-based robotics and wearables in 2015. Back in episode 391, we talked to Raquel Vélez about controlling robots with Node.js. Nodebots have blown up and it's easier than ever to jump in and make your own!
Connectivity and ubiquity will play a huge role in how web development for connected devices evolves. The rise of makers & builders in the development community is sparking innovation as well as curiosity in the business world. From connected cars & living spaces to fashion and novelty, The Internet of Things (#IoT) stretches far and wide. We are seeing more and more that our clients and users are demanding applications that integrate seamlessly not just w/ their phones, tablets, and computers but with their tv's, security systems. Many companies are now seeing the viability & market for connected IoT. Many of these companies want to unify product experiences and blur the lines between the physical and digital worlds. With that said, how can we start building our skills and becoming the experts in this development arena? Whether you are interested in building assembly line robotics, medical technology solutions, or even a simple product with blinking LED's, developers will need to know many things. The security, product development cycles, how to connect devices to together, & how to share and assimilate firmware & software packages are very important. Standardization and assimilation of devices in a secure manner is critical for businesses. JavaScript's ubiquity & evented I/O model lends itself well to easily build IoT devices. Other languages are just as viable and debatably better at many aspects of IoT but JavaScript makes it easier, approachable, and portable. NPM (@npmjs), the Node Package Manager, is used across the world as the standard JavaScript package manager for Node.js JavaScript primarily for the web. NPM, Inc. aims to change that and be more than a web tool. I aims to be the JavaScript ecosystem package manager for all development platforms from front end development to IoT and more. Raquel Velez (@rockbot), Software Engineer at NPM, Inc., speaks to this, the impact of NodeBots on the development community, education of IoT, and robotics & web technologies in IoT.Chris Matthieu (@chrismatthieu), Co-founder & CTO of Octoblu (@Octoblu), discusses Octoblu's platform and specifically #MeshBlu (AKA SkyNet.im), the scalable & universal cloud-based MQTT & CoAP-powered network for smart devices, sensors, cloud resources, drones, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and more. Mike Schwartz(@nynymike), CEO of Gluu, shares his feelings on IoT security, open security standards, development practices and the pitfalls of a connected platform for IoT devices. Kenal Shah (@KenalShah), Product Manager at 3Pillar Global, talks to the product side of IoT and how the business side of developing for connected devices impacts the development practices. Standards are constantly debated and the rise of the machines is upon us. We need to decide as a community what these standards are so our clients can trust us to develop their IoT integration products. It is “The Wild Wild West” of IoT yet production and shipping capablities are here with tools like Node.js, NPM, and Octoblu. Once we solidify the standards, will you be ready to deliver? https://twitter.com/chrismatthieu/status/458381648816377857 Upcoming Related Events http://hangouts.readthesource.io/hangouts/octoblu-meshblu/ Resources http://www.smartthings.com/ http://openinterconnect.org/ http://2014.robotsconf.com/ https://www.docker.com/ http://iot.sys-con.com/node/3178979 http://webrtc.sys-con.com/node/3123286 https://allseenalliance.org/sites/default/files/AllSeen-Alliance-DataSheet-09092014-8x11.pdf https://allseenalliance.org/developer-resources/alljoyn-open-source-project https://localmotors.com/awest/connected-car-project-internet-of-things/ http://javascriptjabber.com/103-jsj-robots-with-raquel-velez/ https://www.spark.io/ https://tessel.io/ http://www.arduino.cc/ http://www.raspberrypi.org/ http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/alliance-overview.html http://nodebots.io/ http://www.3pillarglobal.com/ All Seen Alliance https://allseenalliance.org/ NPM http://rckbt.me/ https://twitter.com/rockbot https://www.npmjs.org/ Octoblu http://chrismatthieu.com https://twitter.com/chrismatthieu https://github.com/chrismatthieu http://www.octoblu.com/ https://twitter.com/octoblu https://github.com/octoblu https://developer.octoblu.com/ https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ChrisMatthieu https://github.com/octoblu/meshblu https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mobiblu/id915566405?mt=8 Gluu http://www.gluu.org/blog/ http://www.gluu.org/blog/nstic-announce/ http://www.gluu.org/gluu-server/overview/
Carl and Richard talk to Chris Williams about building and programming robots - all kinds of robots! After Carl opens with a conversation about the Internet of Things, Chris digs into the cool tiny computers that make it possible, like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Communicating with small computers takes cleverness too, so don't forget about serial and serial's grown-up cousin USB. From there, the conversation turns to different robots, especially quadcopters. Chris brings up his focus on getting kids more interested in computing - and embracing that they will always think about computing differently than we do!
