Internet of Things

By: Ajit Singh

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book is a comprehensive, practical-first guide to the Internet of Things. It is meticulously engineered to serve a single, primary purpose: to equip you with the tangible skills required to design, build, and deploy end-to-end IoT solutions. This is not a theoretical survey of the field; it is a structured, hands-on manual for the modern technologist, student, and creator.


Philosophy: From Concept to Code

The guiding philosophy of this book is "learning by doing." The Internet of Things is an applied discipline, and true comprehension is achieved not by memorizing definitions but by building functional systems. This book is written to be a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. Every concept is treated as a building block for a tangible outcome. I do not just discuss what an MQTT broker is; I guide the reader through setting one up and using it to send sensor data. I do not just list the services of a cloud IoT platform; I provide step-by-step instructions to configure one and connect a device to it.


Key Features

1. Strict 10-Chapter Structure: A concise and focused format covering the entire IoT development lifecycle.

2. Beginner to Advanced Trajectory: The book starts with the absolute basics, making it suitable for newcomers, but also includes chapters on security, data analytics, and advanced IoT topics to provide value for experienced learners.

3. Complete Capstone Project: The final chapter is a comprehensive guide to building a live, working "Smart Home Automation System" from scratch, including complete, explained code and circuit diagrams.

4. Simplified Algorithms: All algorithms are presented as simple, numbered lists, removing formal complexities to focus on the core logic.

5. Globally Compatible Content: The topics and technologies covered are aligned with modern computer science and engineering syllabi in the USA, UK, Germany, and other leading international universities.


Key Takeaways

Upon completing this book, the reader will be able to:

1. Design a complete IoT architecture, from the edge device to the cloud backend.

2. Select appropriate microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators for a given application.

3. Program embedded devices using popular languages like Python and C/C++.

4. Implement various IoT communication protocols like MQTT and HTTP.

5. Connect IoT devices securely to leading cloud platforms like AWS IoT or Azure IoT Hub.

6. Manage and perform basic analysis on IoT data collected in the cloud.
