Photon Development Guide
Introduction
Particle’s Photon Development Board is an awesomely powerful platform
for projects that require WiFi and Internet-connectivity. Whether you’re
creating the next, great, IoT project, or just want an easy to use, over-the-
air-programmable ARM Cortext M3 development board, the Photon is an
excellent foundation.

As with any microcontroller platform, there is no shortage of routes you can
take to develop firmware for the Photon. There is a web-based IDE, which
make it easy to share and import import code and program your Photon
remotely. There’s a pre-configured local IDE, which shares many of the
online IDE’s advantages, but allows you to keep code stored on your hard
drive. Or there are the more “hardcore” ARM development environments,
which, while more complicated, can provide complete control over the
contents of your Photon’s program memory.
