The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming our world by connecting everyday objects to the digital world, making mastering this technology essential for modern engineers and innovators. This book bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and hands-on physical computing to help you build smart, hyperconnected systems.
The book discusses IoT building blocks, architectural layers, and communication protocols like MQTT and CoAP before studying design standards from IETF and ETSI. The journey continues through digital sensors, actuators, and RFID, alongside industrial IoT and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology. You will gain practical experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone while mastering MAC protocols and node discovery. The book transitions into C programming for the Arduino IDE, teaching you to interface with DHT11 sensors and OLED displays while integrating with ThingSpeak cloud, MQTT brokers, and MySQL databases.
This book equips readers with the technical confidence and strategic perspective needed to design, analyze, and deploy intelligent IoT systems in their respective job roles. It inspires readers to think critically, innovate effectively, and contribute meaningfully to the evolving IoT ecosystem.
