Introduction to Particle PHOTON Board
In this leadoff class, we will look at the structure of the PHOTON board - its architecture, the chips used, and the features built into the board. We will also look at the infrastructure that the manufacturer has established for the board and that we will use for the remainder of the week.

Programming the PHOTON Board Online
In this penultimate class, we will take what we learned so far and write some beginning code using the free online Integrated Development Environment (IDE), as well as a version that can run on our own computers. We will then look at ways that we can use the node in our local Internet of Things.

Advanced Coding
Now that we have written some code using the online and simple IDE tools, we will look at using some familiar IDEs and writing 'bare metal' and even RTOS-based code for the STM chip on our PHOTON board.
