Dev Environment Setup Steps

Hi Participants,

It's only 1 big sleep to the Hackathon!!

We recommend you get your development environments up and running prior to the event in order to make the best possible use of your time at the Hackathon.

Step 1: You must be Registered for BlueMix. https://console.ng.bluemix.net/registration/

• At the event registration desk in the PorterShed on Friday evening, we will be allocating official IBM Bluemix Promo-Codes, which will extend your time (90 Days) and resources (10 Services, 4GB Memory) on IBM Bluemix.

• At the hackathon we will be handing out Texas Instruments Sensor tags these connect easily to the Watson IoT platform
• In advance there is a "Play with your platform now" section that describes how to feed data to bluemix from your own device (Phone, Raspberry Pi)
• http://discover-iot.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/#/play

• If you have Mars, then that will run also. 

• Complete this by going to https://eclipse.org/
