The Frankensteinian creature many refer to as the Internet of Things is starting to gain a foothold in the developer community, suggesting that we'll be seeing more applications headed our way.
That's the conclusion of a new survey from Evans Data Corporation, which finds that 17 percent of 1,400 developers participating in its latest survey said they were "working on applications for connected devices for the Internet of Things." Another 23 percent expect to begin work on applications for connected devices in the next six months.
But, of course, there's really no such entity as the IoT, and no developer is going to start writing applications that point to an amorphous IoT. Rather, IoT is an agglomeration of platforms and technologies. Evans did some parsing to see exactly what was being targeted in development work.
