Book Description
Connected devices are reshaping every industry — from smart manufacturing and precision agriculture to healthcare monitoring and autonomous systems. Kickstart IoT Systems Engineering provides a comprehensive, hands-on path from core IoT concepts to production-grade, AI-enabled deployments, bridging the gap between academic foundations and real industry practice.
You begin with IoT architecture, sensors, microcontrollers, and communication protocols — including MQTT, REST APIs, LoRa, and BLE — then progressively build toward cloud-connected systems using Firebase, AWS IoT Core, and enterprise integration patterns. Every chapter is grounded in practical exercises, working with Arduino, NodeMCU, and ESP32 across real-world scenarios, including data logging, alert systems, GPIO control, and secure device communication.
Thus, by the end of the book, you will design secure, scalable IoT systems capable of handling real-world complexity — from a single connected sensor to an enterprise-grade deployment.
What you will learn
● Program Arduino, NodeMCU, and ESP32 for real-world IoT applications.
● Connect devices to cloud platforms using MQTT, REST APIs, and Firebase.
● Implement encryption, authentication, and hardening for secure IoT systems.
● Integrate Edge AI and TinyML for intelligent, low-latency device processing.
● Apply computer vision and ML models to live IoT sensor data streams.
● Deploy, test, and scale production-ready IoT solutions with confidence.
