Programming Paradigms for Physical Computing and IoT

Programming Paradigms for Physical Computing and IoT

Explore programming paradigms for physical computing and IoT in this 41-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2018. Dive into the GPIO Zero library for Raspberry Pi, which serves as a model for creating Pythonic APIs for interconnected devices. Learn about multiple programming interfaces, including procedural (polling and blocking), event-driven (callbacks), and declarative approaches. Begin with simple scripts controlling LEDs and buttons on a breadboard, then progress to prototyping ideas and declaring interactions between more advanced home devices. Discover how these programming options and the library's extensibility enable complex behavior using straightforward Pythonic code.
