Mastering IOT

By: Colin Dow, Perry Lea

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. We’ll begin our journey with an introduction to Raspberry Pi and quickly jump right into Python programming. We’ll learn all concepts through multiple projects, and then reinforce our learnings by creating an IoT robot car. We’ll examine modern sensor systems and focus on what their power and functionality can bring to our system. We’ll also gain insight into cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The Learning Path will conclude by discussing three forms of prevalent attacks and ways to improve the security of our IoT infrastructure. By the end of this Learning Path, we will have traversed the entire spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, and will have the confidence to build, secure, and monitor our IoT infrastructure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: Internet of Things Programming Projects by Colin Dow Internet of Things for Architects by Perry Lea

IoT ecosystem


These industries will rely on the hardware, software, and services provided by the bulk of the IT industry. Nearly every major technology company is investing or has invested heavily in IoT space. New markets and technologies have already formed (and some have collapsed or been acquired). Throughout this book, we will touch on nearly every segment in information technology, as they all have a role in IoT:

  • Sensors: Embedded systems, real-time operating systems, energy-harvesting sources, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMs).
  • Sensor communication systems: Wireless personal area networks reach from 0 cm to 100 m. Low-speed and low-power communication channels, often non-IP based have a place in sensor communication.
  • Local area networks: Typically, IP-based communication systems such as 802.11 Wi-Fi used for fast radio communication, often in peer-to-peer or star topologies.
  • Aggregators, routers, gateways: Embedded systems providers, cheapest vendors (processors, DRAM, and storage...
