IoT Basics

Get inspired to explore the depths of the IoT field. In today’s rapidly transforming world, the Internet of Things (IoT) plays an inevitable role in people’s lives. From smart buildings to enterprise grade automation, these fields have enormous amounts of opportunities for IoT solutions that can transform the industry. This book will provide a good mixture of fundamental understanding and hands-on experience. The beginning of the book helps readers of every level conceptualize the futuristic goals that IoT has to offer for adoption and growth in different industries. You'll start with the IoT basics and then advance to business applications with multiple IoT boards, platforms, software, and hardware. Each chapter focuses on one vertical (ie. healthcare, education, environmental), how it impacts people’s lives and how IoT can be used to build solutions specific to that vertical. With the solid base prepared, you'll then learn the importance, processes, and outcome of building IoT solutions for various industry verticals using the IoT. Chapters also feature a detailed walk through of applications, circuit boards and other tools. In the end, you'll have completed multiple modules through working on IoT prototypes that have a real-world impact through viable business model. You will: - Recognize the need for an IoT ecosystem - Avoid potential pitfalls and breakdowns while working with IoT and smart systems - Build scalable and efficient IoT solutions that work at a small, medium and large scale in the real-life - Explore pool of opportunities and possibilities in the field of IoT - Review business aspects, developing decision making senses and derive solution with an unbiased mindset - Understand and be responsibly aware about the security concerns related to the domain of IoT
