MQTT : a machine-to-machine connectivity protocol

Speaker: Jan-Piet Mens

Abstract

In spite of being the new hotness for the Internet of Things, MQTT is very useful for system administrators (and, of course, you need a good excuse to hear this talk, which is why we say system administrators! :-) We discuss what MQTT is, glance at the protocol, look at what MQTT can be used for and how you can put it to good use, and we briefly touch upon MQTT and gadgets, of course.
