The Importance of Reliable Plumbing

Talk about your narrow market niche.

In biology, a “niche” is defined as a specific, well-defined region where life can exist. Swordfish like water with a particular temperature, salinity, and depth. They have a narrow ecological niche. Koalas live only in eucalyptus trees, which in turn, grow only at certain temperatures, soil conditions, and climate. Cockroaches, well, they can live most anywhere.

In the embedded software world, there’s a small company that’s worked out its narrow market … Read More → "The Importance of Reliable Plumbing"

Developed and promoted by a small Danish company called Nabto, coincidentally enough, the Nabto protocol is a way for small and stupid embedded devices to serve up a rich diet of HTTP content on a starving programmer’s budget. Nabto (the company) says Nabto (the protocol) can serve full Web-style HTML, graphics, style sheets, Javascript, and so … Read More → "“I Have No Need for a Protocol Droid”"
