    Abstract: If you want to design apps for smart watches, it's important to know that different platforms have vastly different capabilities. Apple Watch and Android Wear, for instance, serve primarily as smartphone extensions with fast CPUs, bright displays, and relatively short battery life. Pebble's watches improve on this with better battery life and screens that work outdoors. Garmin watches take battery life and durability a step further. It's said that if you know how to build a boat, you can build things that will stand up to any environment this planet can throw at you. The "boatbuilders" at Garmin have created watches for long-term use in punishing, sometimes extreme conditions (such as a 24-hour ultra marathon). In this report, author Brian Jepson takes you on a hands-on tour of Garmin and its Connect IQ SDK. Garmin goes furthest in prioritizing run time and resilience over raw processing power, but as you'll discover, the watch does not sacrifice the functionality you need to develop first-class fitness- and health-related applications. This report explores both the advantages and constraints of working with Connect IQ. Explore Garmin's ability to collect data from users and return timely results to them Start developing for Connect IQ by using templates for four kinds of apps Work with example projects in Connect IQ, including ways to read data from an ANT+ sensor Get developer resources for building wearable apps that do more with less Brian Jepson is an O'Reilly editor, hacker, and co-organizer of Providence Geeks and the Rhode Island Mini Maker Faire. He's also a geek-at-large for AS220, a non-profit arts center in Providence, Rhode Island. AS220 gives Rhode Island artists uncensored and unjuried forums for their work and provides galleries, performance space, fabrication facilities, and live/work space.

    Abstract: Like any committed organization, your company wants to attract and keep loyal employees who are creatively productive and engaged with their work. And those workers want to be appreciated for the job they do. This report shows you how to align both goals, with guidelines for a powerful process that's often undervalued: one-on-one meetings between managers (or team leaders) and the people in their charge. Author Esther Schindler explains that one-on-one meetings can help managers break down barriers, give and receive useful and immediate feedback, and ultimately build team loyalty. With the best practices in this report, you can transform these meetings from an irritating waste of time into a valuable "special time" for both workers and managers. Learn why one-on-ones are important for developing trust, aligning tasks, and mentoring Conduct these meetings as a conversation-and don't be afraid to be personal Make the process work by scheduling recurring meetings and building in follow-up Get guidelines for what (and what not) to talk about during one-on-one meetings and for dealing with tricky situations and negative feedback Judge your success with a checklist for self-assessment Esther Schindler is a longtime tech industry journalist who's translated geek-talk into English since 1992. She loves to explain how technology can, indeed, improve the quality of life. Find her on Twitter at estherschindler. Bring chocolate.

    Abstract: There is no shortage of tutorials for writing your first IoT application, but there's no end of confusion around how to get on a path to production after you have duct-taped a Raspberry Pi to your product. This "one to thousands to millions problem" raises questions of what product to use for going to market, and what to use to connect it to everything else.In this report, you'll learn strategies for scaling up your product and connecting it to the network, while keeping the following constraints front-and-center: Time-to-market requirements Investment you are able to make in non-recurring engineering costs How many products you will sell Physical environment the product must operate in Power requirements All of these affect what options you have available for connecting a networked device, and determine how you will exercise those options.

    Abstract: Telecommuting is an incredible way to work, especially for programmers and other tech workers. Besides the advantages of working from your own home (and avoiding rush hour), remote work offers independence, flexibility, and more control over your work environment. But it definitely has its challenges and tradeoffs. This report is packed with advice to help you make a success of telecommuting, whether you're an individual telecommuter, a team member, or a manager. Author Esther Schindler explains that successful telecommuting requires good communication skills, trust among colleagues, and shared dedication to accomplishing team goals. With this report, you'll learn to address two main challenges: how to organize your own life as a telecommuter, and how to work as part of a larger team. Manage your telecommuting life: create your own office space and give structure to your day Beat the workaholic syndrome so common with remote workers Define firm "on the job" times while making family a part of your daily routine Make yourself visible: stay in sync with colleagues through frequent and clear communication Find ways to collaborate with your team, including brainstorming sessions Deal with common technology problems you're likely to encounter
