Internet of Things

Description

This book is targeted for beginners to the Internet of Things (IoT), application developers who want to start off with a hands-on approach towards IoT as their tool of choice, and experts who want to expand their repertoire of tools for analysis.

The book is organized in such a manner that the reader can jump to any chapter they prefer to read and not necessarily follow the order in which chapters are written. Chapters 1 to 3 cover the basics of IoT, and sensors and actuators that are used in any typical IoT-based application. Chapters 4 and 5 cover domain-specific IoT systems, design aspects, and different platforms used for designing an IoT application. Chapter 6 introduces the way Python can be used for logical design of an IoT system. Chapter 7 covers Arduino, Chapter 8 talks about Raspberry Pi, and Chapter 9 covers Intel Galileo SoC platforms for developing IoT systems. Chapters 10 and 11 introduce Web interfaces for IoT. Finally, at the end of the book, a laboratory companion is provided to facilitate students to carry out some laboratory exercises.

Key Features

• Provides in-depth introduction to IoT that is easy to follow for, both, beginners and experts to get started with building IoT applications.
• Chapters are designed such that there is no necessity to follow the book linearly.
• All the topics required to build an IoT system from scratch are included.
• Numerous examples for real-life systems with complete code are provided.
