Before I talk about the Internet of Things, let’s talk about responsibility: your responsibility as a developer and Microsoft’s responsibility to provide the necessary tools. By now, you should know that application development requires four specific actors, which I’m referring to as makers, builders, tools, and the application. The makers are the architects and algorithm builders who design new concepts. The builders are the application developers who use a powerful IDE like Visual Studio to get the makers’ work to a larger market. The tools are what the builder needs to quickly deliver those solutions, the application being the end product. It is your responsibility to build incredible solutions, keeping within the privacy and decency standards, while Microsoft’s responsibility is to provide you the tools necessary to get the job done.
