Interactive Workshop and Tech Talks 
31st May 2016 Cardiff

An IoT (Internet of Things) based workshop exploring how your Things can connect to the cloud and what you can do with the cloud when you are connected.

Everyone is welcome even if you have a basic knowledge of programming, as it will be used NodeRed which is a visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things. 

Attendees will need to bring a laptop to connect to a usb powered ESP8266 serial WIFI Witty cloud Development Board which can be programmed via the Arduino IDE. 


As we have a limited amount of these devices attendees are welcome to bring their own, it will be used IFTTT examples which anyone can build to connect devices in their homes etc. Really no excuses for not starting ESP8266 IoT projects.

Gmail Email Traffic Connections Now Encrypted To Protect Its Users

Image
It was announced  today by Google  that is protecting its Gmail users by providing enhanced encryption. Gmail will “always use an encrypted HTTPS connection”  When a user connects to read its email, and subsequently transmits a new communication, it will now be always encrypted.  This security layer also ensures that even when traffic at a point of delivery and processing stages as it travels between Google servers and data communication highways will have better security from any possible third party attempts to read confidential data. As a positive consequence is that general users even whilst at different locations checking their emails, will be better protected regardless of their type of connected network such as a public location.  Thus leaving users without the need to worry about security settings or third party illegal attempts to intercept communications using technology such as public wifi.
