Smart
This course is designed to meet the needs of the participants to obtain as quickly as possible the most relevant information.
To achieve this, participants’ collaboration is required:
- Each participant has to bring with himself a Windows 10 PC (1607) with a set of tools installed:
- Windows ADK for Windows 10;
- Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 3;
- The last version of the Windows SDK;
- Windows 10 IoT Core Dashboard;
- Windows IoT Remote Client;
- Azure Device Explorer;
- Microsoft Azure Storage Explore;
When the course will be activated, we will send an email to each registered with detailed instructions of what to install and where to find the needed tools.
We will provide:
- A target device (es: Rasberry Pi 3 fully setup for the lab needs);
- Sensors and HW devices (es: GHIElectronics FEZHAT shield);
- Azure account;
NOTE: The tools listed above are essential in order to execute the labs on their own PC and some of these tools have a time for installation (e.g. Visual Studio) incompatible with the time available during the course.
Prerequisites
This course requires that students meet the following prerequisites:
- Proficiency using the Windows Interface.
- Proficiency using the Visual Studio environment.
- Good knowledge of .NET (C#)

Course goals
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
- Use Windows® 10 IoT Core tools: WICD, etc.…
- Describe the deployment process of an operating system image.
- Describe the deployment process of an application from the development to the debugging phase on the Windows IoT Core target.
- Describe the services and functionalities provided by the Azure IoT Suite.
Microsoft Certification exams
This course is the best starting point to prepare the Technical Specialist Official Exams: at the moment, there is not any exam on this topic.
