Learning IoT with Particle Photon and Electron

This book gives an introduction to IoT architecture, command-line build tools and applications of IoT devices and sensors. IT explains how to design and develop connected IoT applications using Particle Photon and Electron in a step-by-step manner, gaining an entry point into the field of IoT. It gives tips on troubleshooting IoT applications.

Starting with the basics of programming, the book, Learning IoT with Particle Photon and Electron, will take you through setting up your local servers and running custom firmware, to using the Photon and Electron to program autonomous cars. This book also covers in brief a basic architecture and design of IoT applications. It gives you an overview of the IoT stack. You will also get information on how to debug and troubleshoot Particle Photon and Electron and set up your own debugging framework for any IoT board. Finally, you’ll tinker with the firmware of the Photon and Electron by modifying the existing firmware and deploying them to your boards.

By the end of this book, you should have a fairly good understanding of the IoT ecosystem and you should be able to build standalone projects using your own local server or the Particle Cloud Server.

Internet of Things: A Hands-On Approach

This book, Internet of Things: A Hands-on Approach, is written as a textbook for educational programs at colleges and universities. It can also be used by IoT (Internet of Things) vendors and service providers for training their program developers. The authors have used an immersive ‘hands on’ approach, similar to the one adopted in the companion book, Cloud Computing: A Hands-on Approach, to help readers gain expertise in developing working code for real-world IoT applications.

It is organised into three main parts. Part I covers the building blocks of Internet of Things (IoT) and their characteristics. Domain specific IoT and their real-world applications are described along with a generic design methodology and an IoT system management approach using NETCONF-YANG.  Part II introduces the reader to the programming aspects of IoT with a view to developing rapid prototypes of complex IoT applications.  Part III introduces the reader to advanced topics in IoT, including IoT data analytics and tools for IoT.  Case studies on collecting and analyzing data generated by IoT in the cloud are described.
