+# What is Azure IoT device development?
 
 Azure IoT is a collection of managed and platform services that connect, monitor, and control your IoT devices. Azure IoT offers developers a comprehensive set of options. Your options include device platforms, supporting cloud services, SDKs, MQTT support, and tools for building device-enabled cloud applications.

 ## Device development paths
 This article discusses two common device development paths. Each path includes a set of related development options and tasks.

 * **Embedded device development:** Describes development targeting resource constrained devices. Often you use a resource-constrained device to reduce per unit costs, power consumption, or device size. These devices have direct control over the hardware platform they execute on.
 
-### Device application development
-Device application developers are adapting existing devices to connect to the cloud and integrate into their IoT solutions. These devices can support higher-order languages, such as C# or Python, and often support a robust general purpose operating system such as Windows or Linux. Common target devices include PCs, Containers, Raspberry Pis, and mobile devices.

-Rather than develop constrained devices at scale, device application developers focus on enabling a specific IoT scenario required by their cloud solution. Some developers also work on constrained devices for their cloud solution. For developers working with resource constrained devices, see the [Embedded Device Development](#embedded-device-development) path.

 ### Embedded device development
 Embedded development targets constrained devices that have limited memory and processing. Constrained devices restrict what can be achieved compared to a traditional development platform.
