The choice of programming language matters deeply to developers because they want to keep their skills up-to-date and marketable.

Since the emergence of the first agile software development methods more than 20 years ago, development teams around the world have undergone a significant cultural shift.

Three years ago we started a small group under the Emerging Technologies area of the company focusing on the Internet of Things. The commitment of the group was (and is), in ambitious terms, “to democratize the Internet of Things” opening it to as many makers, developers and users as possible.

We wanted to work at the crossroads of the Internet, the Things and the People. But our development skills were almost 100% software related. In the process we built a team skilled on all three sides. And we figured out how to do agile hardware.
