There's a new gold rush happening and it's not about precious metals. It's about building innovative devices for consumers and connecting them to the cloud.

After all, these low-end devices such as the Raspberry Pi have limited compute power and storage space. The cloud fills this void and goes further by helping with security, device management and so on. So this month, we want to roll up our sleeves from both a hardware and software perspective and learn what it takes to truly embrace this new computing paradigm.
