Yes but to write code that controls stuff you need to understand the hardware aspect for the most part. That's my belief anyways, so my actual blogs wouldn't just include the code aspect. As the programmer in my industry, I still have to know wiring standards and protocols for more than just those in regards to networking (balanced/unbalanced audio, mic/line/speaker level, chroma-subsampling, etc...), but I also have to have a bit of electrical (mainly low-voltage), video, and audio knowledge to write the code that appropriately controls the devices, as well as troubleshoot.
I meant in the global scheme of things, it isn't required to be about networking. I did say earlier that it's become a bigger aspect of automation in today's world, as it's the most scale-able approach to expanding control to more devices.
I'm not suggesting any of this :/. My statement was clear to show that I was talking about the perspective of the networking person's, not my own, however to make it more clear I probably should have used "only"
>> Even if automation isn't only about networking, I bet you that is the idea that most networking people have
However, I was only implying that a networking person probably has a biased perspective on modern-day automation, I can't prove anything on a statistics level, so you'll have to take them with a grain of salt and try to understand what I was hinting at instead.
Yes but then my blogs would most likely become professional-industry specific and more likely involve tools and technology not available to the general public whereas I want to get out of that with my articles... I want to be able to write articles that benefit the electrical DIY hobbyist home automation-inspired individual programmers/developers. The point for me would be to target people that could read my blogs and successfully control and automate common equipment that people have in their home, or at least most people own, and end up perhaps eventually integrating things together so they can work in a synchronized way.
Thanks for the response though
