The NMEA OneNet developer course is a 6-to-8-hour workshop geared towards programmers and technical product managers.  Alex Polmans, primary developer of the OneNet certification tool will give an overview of the OneNet certification process and explain in detail specific sections of the tool as it relates to the standard.

The day delivers an overview of the implementation and custom requirements a OneNet application and device should consider. The workshop covers implementation for a OneNet application, and the resources needed. The Workshop also provides examples of OneNet on platforms such as Windows, MacOs, Linux. NMEA will show an example of a Java Script containing the necessary technology mix of solutions required for certification and interoperability (IPv6, UDP, TLS, DTLS, crypto, mDNS, HTTP).   Developers will meet venders providing early market penetration opportunities demonstrating pre built OneNet solutions.

Attendees will gain access to NMEAs new developers sandbox repository containing source code to help implement your first OneNet application. Access to source code is available to manufacturers with NMEA membership in good standing.
