We are just warming up! In this chapter, we got a brief introduction to the concept of the Internet of Things. We then went on to look at an overview of what we were going to build throughout the rest of this book and saw how the Raspberry Pi can help us get there.
The next section showed us how to get up and running with our Pi by installing and running the Raspbian OS.
Finally, you learned how to make life easier by being able to access the Pi remotely through our desktop or laptop.
This chapter essentially forms the base for us moving forward. It is important to make sure that you get the installation right, as we are going to rely solely on the Raspberry Pi's environment for the execution of our code. Our laptop is simply going to assist us in writing the code.
In the next chapter, we will dive deep into the web development stack and look at how each layer plays its role and how we can build them it forward.
