Connected coffee brewers are a thing and Keurig's new solution goes way beyond the mobile app companion, leveraging Azure IoT Central to monitor and manage brewers like it's never been done before.Read the blog post to learn more at https://aka.ms/iotshow/IoTCentralAndKeurig

Azure Digital Twins is a platform as a service offering that enables you to create live digital twin graphs that represent entities and their relationships. In today's world where your IDE automatically detects your coding style and makes recommendations using machine learning, creating a digital twin might seem like more work than you're accustomed. First, you'd need to create a document using the Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL). Then you'd need to add it to Azure Digital Twins using a Restful API call. You then need to repeat this process as changes are required. A more familiar way might be to use Plain Old Class Objects or simply POCO. You may already be familiar with it if you've used Entity Framework Core. Using POCO, you may find it easier to create and manage your digital twins using a code first approach.Learn more about this at https://aka.ms/iotshow/CodeFirstDigitalTwins

How about having interactive Digital Signs that bring new digital experiences in the physical world, like being able to play Flappy Bird on a large screen while waiting for your bus?

Today, customers who are leveraging FreeRTOS on their devices and wish to connect to Azure IoT services need to resort to home-grown solutions or venture to adapt existing SDKs to work with FreeRTOS. With the Azure IoT middleware for FreeRTOS they'll get a proper SDK that exposes the APIs these developers expect to see when getting their devices connected to Azure. In contrast with home-grown solutions, the Azure IoT middleware for FreeRTOS is maintained and supported by Microsoft, and it is an open-source project that allows customers to adapt it to a number of different hardware combinations to support their business and technical requirements.

Charles is an engineer who has no background in IoT nor in data science. Despite this, he was able to create innovative solutions that can literally change people's lives thanks to technology like IoT or AI at the edge made accessible to all. Charles walks us through his journey in building a customized signed language recognition solution for a disabled person who cannot sign like everyone because of their disability.Learn more reading Charles blog post at https://aka.ms/iotshow/AccessibleTech

Edge Device observability is critical to managing production edge deployments and devices. You can remotely observe and monitor your Azure IoT Edge fleet using Azure Monitor or Azure IoT Central application and built-in metrics integration. To enable this capability on your device, add the metrics-collector module to your deployment and configure it to collect and transport metrics to Azure Monitor or your Azure IoT Central Application.

Join us to learn more about an upcoming feature in Azure IoT Central that will enable you to build your IoT solution once and onboard multiple tenants into it - we're calling this feature Organizations. During this session we'll provide an overview of the feature, its use cases and roadmap, and we'll wrap it up with a live demo. Learn more at https://aka.ms/iotshow/iotc-organizations

Terry Warwick and Craig Loewen join Olivier on the IoT Show to discuss Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW) and Windows Subsystem on Linux (WSL): what they are and when to use which. Learn more reading the blog post at https://aka.ms/iotshow/EFLOWandWSL

Please meet the .NET nanoFramework. As its name indicates the nanoFramwork is a tuned down version of the .NET runtime (and tools) adapted and optimized for running on microcontrollers (MCUs). With it, .NET developers can apply their skills and favorite language to coding for IoT devices.Laurent Ellerbach joins Olivier to introduce the .NET nanoFramework and run us through some demos.Check out the nanoFramework on GitHub at https://github.com/nanoframework
