Using a high level framework, such as .NET @nanoFramework, does indeed give you a boost in productivity. If you develop embedded systems, and you haven't, give it a try. If you are a .NET developer and you're lacking the skills to tackle such a project, this is what you need. 😉
🚀 One language from ESP32 or STM32 or Raspberry PICO to the cloud. With .NET @nanoFramework you can use the same C# skills across microcontrollers, services and applications.

No context switching or learning a second ecosystem! 🤩💪

Really enjoyed this one.
I joined @richcampbell and @carlfranklin on .NET Rocks to talk about .NET @nanoFramework, embedded development, and making life easier for teams building connected devices. Go have a listen!
Ready to go nano?
@jose_simoes talks on .NET Rocks at dotnetrocks.com/details/2001 about the open source .NET nanoFramework - a community-driven project to provide .NET for embedded systems!
