Overview of this book

Develop the skills essential for building Internet of Things solutions with this indispensable guide. In an era where industries heavily rely on IoT, this book will quickly familiarize you with its foundations, widespread use, implementation guided by best practices, and the crucial technologies that allow it to work effectively. Starting with the use of IoT in real-life scenarios, this book offers comprehensive insights into basic IoT hardware, protocols, and technologies. You’ll then learn about architecting and implementing solutions such as wireless sensor networks, cloud computing with AWS, and crucial security considerations. You’ll understand how these systems are operated and monitored over time and work with simple to complex, industry-grade systems, adhering to best practices. In later chapters, you’ll be apprised of future IoT trends and strategies to manage the risks and opportunities that come with them. You’ll also get to grips with a diverse set of tools, including hardware such as ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, and software such as Mosquitto and ChatGPT for generative AI capabilities. By the end of this IoT book, you’ll be able to independently build and design complex, industry-standard solutions fully aligned with best practices.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The payload[length] = '\0'; line adds a null character (0) at the end of the payload data to indicate the end of the string.”

A block of code is set as follows:

const byte led_gpio = 32;
void setup() {
     pinMode(led_gpio, OUTPUT);
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ git config –global user.name "{firstname} {lastname}"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “You should see the Status change to Connected. Click on the Raw data tab; you can see the data with the latest data model uploaded from the device.”
