The Altair 8800 kick-started the personal computer revolution in the 70s. Altair BASIC was Microsoft's first product, written by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Altair BASIC transformed the Altair 8800 into a viable hobbyist and business computer, and the rest is history.

Bring your inner geek, and learn about the Altair 8800 climate monitor that integrates computing from the 70s with the world of Azure IoT, Data, and AI along with public cloud climate services.

You'll learn:

- The history of personal computing.
- How to extend the Altair 8800 emulator to integrate with Altair and Microsoft BASIC.
- Pain-free development of cross-platform Azure connected apps written in C/C++.
- Azure services, including IoT, Stream Analytics, Anomaly detection, and Power Apps.


The project is open source, and all the code and documentation is provided at https://github.com/gloveboxes/Altair8800.Emulator.UN-X/wiki to reignite your inner geek. Step back to yesteryear, and build a modern cloud-connected climate monitor.
