Getting Started with Windows 10 IoT Core Development

A Kickstart for the Windows 10 IoT Core Beginner

Created by: Dr. Florian Müller
Computer Scientist, Software Architect and Engineer

What Will I Learn?

• Setting up a complete toolchain for developing own Windows 10 IoT Core applications
• Developing basic foreground and background applications with web access
• Accessing hardware interfaces like the GPIO pins from within a Windows 10 IoT Core application in C++
• Setting up a basic prototype electronic circuit
• Handling user inputs from physical push buttons
• Designing basic user-interfaces
• Using development tools like SSH or FTP that help in typical development situations.

Requirements

• A Windows 10 PC
• Basic knowledge of C++ can be helpful, but is not mandatory.
• To run the applications on the target IoT device, a Raspberry Pi is used in this course as well as an LED, a push button, some jumper wires, and a breadboard for prototyping.

Target audience

• Novices in the field of Windows 10 IoT development, who want to get an introduction and kick start for own software projects using C++.
• This course is not for expert Windows IoT Core developers.
