Description
This book presents a technical introduction to the software components of IoT, its architecture, development and protocols. From the launch of the ARPAnet in the 1960s to recent connected gadgets, it highlights the integration of IoT in smart cities, assisted living, connected vehicles, issues with UX and UI and different network topologies related to M2M and IoT solutions. Readers will find in-depth coverage on battery chemistry, actuators like simple buzzers to complex stepper motors, gyroscopes and electrical sensing in organic compounds and backend software. The book offers an insight into the components of modern electronics and computing, and caters to professionals interested in researching, developing and building IoT.

Books like these are vital in explaining to our current decision makers that the new form of value is no longer territory, nor printed money, but data. If you have no governance over data, you have no governance, period. In this book you learn to understand how this came to be and what you can do to build viable and sustainable political and business models for the 21th century. -- Rob Van Kranenburg * IoT Council * If you want to know the why, rather than just the how, then this book is for you. From sub atomic particles to what's inside a relay, this book gives the deeper details of how things work. I wish this book was available when I started my Internet of Things adventures. Buy it, read it and keep it handy for reference throughout your career. -- Lucy RogersMore details
