Get Started with ThingWorx for IoT
Create an IoT application using the core building blocks of ThingWorx Foundation.
Guide Concept
This project will introduce you to the principles of ThingWorx Foundation by creating a working web application.
Following the steps in this guide, you will create the building blocks of your first application for the Internet of Things (IoT). You will use ThingWorx Composer to create Thing Templates, which are then used to create Things that model the application domain. A simulator is imported to generate time-series data that is saved to a Value Stream.
After modeling the application in ThingWorx Composer, you'll use Mashup Builder to create the web application Graphical User Interface (GUI). No coding is required in modeling the application, or in composing the web GUI that displays dynamically-generated data.
