Massimo Banzi, co-founder of the Arduino project, will discuss the current state of the Arduino project and its ecology. He will show some relevant projects done with Arduino, statistics of web traffic and sales to illustrate the impressive growth of the project. Finally he'll provide a glimpse of new products coming in the next few months.

Study of computers, their design (seecomputer architecture), and their uses for computation, data processing, and systems control, including design and development of computer hardware and software, and programming. The field encompasses theory, mathematical activities such as design and analysis of algorithms, performance studies of systems and their components, and estimation of reliability and availability of systems by probabilistic techniques. Because computer systems are often too large and complicated for failure or success of a design to be predicted without testing, experimentation is built into the development cycle.
