Make sure you didn't miss anything with this list of the Best of the Week in the IoT Zone (October 24 - October 31). Here they are, in order of popularity:

1. How the Internet of Things Will Impact Your Employment

• It's pretty clear: IoT is the future. If you're working in IoT or plan to be soon, it sounds like you won't have any trouble find a job - and getting paid, for that matter - but what does this future of employment look like for everybody else?

• What's interesting about the Internet of Things is not really the Things, of course - they're just a bunch of junk you can buy - so much as the connections between them. As a result, it can be a bit hard to visualize - what, among the things that surround you, is actually connected?

3. .NET Rocks Podcast: The Security of IoT
