Dev Projects for the Long Weekend
Find your favorite chair, kick your feet up and grab yourself a cup of coffee. It’s finally time to pick up some of the dev projects you’ve been eyeballing from behind the hazy fog of pre-vacation deadlines.
For the long weekend, we’ve assembled a quick list of three projects we’ll be working on between family time and scouring Stack Overflow for answers to life’s questions. Take a look below to get started!
IoT for the Whole Family
IoT projects can be both fun and practical – take a look at a few of our favorite selections below. After securing your home with an IoT Security Camera and automating the rest of your house, you might really need to think about rewarding yourself with that automated Kegerator. Just saying.

Thirty-five samples to work with right here, folks! With these samples, you can get familiar with the API usage patterns that make the UWP unique. This section has code samples for accelerometers, relative inclinometers and pretty much everything in between.
