Introduction to ThingWorx 8Overview

Course Code TRN-4698-T

Course Length 40 Hours

In this course, you will learn how to useThingWorx to model applications thatcommunicate with smart, connected Things.You will model your solution using Things,Thing Shapes, and Thing Templates. Then,you will combine those elements into mashups(Web pages). You will add functionality toyour Things using properties, services, events,and subscriptions to automate tasks andcommunicate with external data sources. Youwill store information in data tables, streams,value streams, and files, as well as gainexperience using data shapes. You will alsolearn about security and how to apply it to yourmodel. Lastly, you will receive a brief overviewof how to create a user dashboard.This course is applicable to ThingWorx 8.0.
