History of the Dev Kit

22 Jul 2014

Development Kits have shaped the technology-led world we know today. Originally a basis for prototyping products and applications, Development Kits are now being used to produce some of the world’s most innovative new technologies, from wearables and smart devices, to medical testing systems and the Internet of Things.

To mark the incredible impact of Development Kits, we have charted their evolution in this History of the Dev Kit slideshare. It follows early adoption by the engineering community in the 1970s, right through to the modern day of low cost, open source development platforms.

I think this is a bunch of nonsense, if I may be frank. You're only talking about development kits as in 'computing' stuff, and thereby missing everything related to analog prototyping development kits. This is also the issue in the design center.
Also, picking out the Altair and Microchip is not a sample of development kit, but of some product.

True - I was so steamed up about the blurring of the micro dev kit history that I hadn't even got on to analogue stuff !
