Video description
Explore the new world where software, hardware, and networking
intersect. With this complete video compilation, you’ll get a
front-row seat at O’Reilly’s recent Solid 2014 Conference in San
Francisco—including every keynote, workshop, and session by experts
and entrepreneurs working in robotics, sensor networks, the
Internet of Things, the Industrial Internet, the Maker movement,
and hardware-oriented startups.
It’s happening all around us right now: homes with smart robots,
self-driving cars, personal autonomous drones, locomotives with jet
engines. Hardware, software, and networking are fusing into a
single fluid entity. Download the Solid video compilation or stream
it through our HD player, you’ll discover the possibilities,
including:
- Companies—Explore what’s working, from getting funding to
design and marketing to moving from an early adopter market into
the mainstream.
- Foundations—Expand your notion of the possible, and learn
how radically new products can spring from re-imagining existing
services, processes, and machines.
- Machines—Focus on how to make intelligent things real, from
design and prototyping to manufacturing and shipping.
- Society—Examine how to build products and services that
improve our communities, personal health, and the world
economy.
- Tools—Learn the protocols, technologies, and techniques you
need to understand to make your ideas become reality.
