Preface
Today the internet is growing at an unimaginable pace. Now its reach is not just limited to devices like
desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobiles but also devices like cars, TVs, door locks, electrical applianc-
es, home lightings, air conditioning, fans, etc. For this reason, there is a huge demand to understand
this emerging technology and use this in developing solutions to solve various social and business
problems. All these devices can connect with each other via Internet and hence this setup is called
as Internet of Things as they have the capability to connect with each other to share data, execute
commands, etc.
Presently, we live in a world where there are more IoT devices than humans. These devices com-
municate by using networks or cloud-based platforms that are connected to the internet. These de-
vices promise us a revolution in healthcare, safety, business, industrial performance, humanitarian
issues, environmental problems, etc.
IoT enables advanced automation to provide innovative solutions to solve a number of services
and products related issues which are applicable to various fields. To realize the full potential of
the IoT paradigm, it is very important to work with the challenges and develop new concepts and
technological solutions to tackle them. The operation of IoT works dierently in dierent ecosystems,
in other words, it follows dierent architectural norms in a dierent environment. However, the key
concepts of the entire IoT ecosystem remain the same. The main process starts with the devices
themselves, such as tablets, smart-watches, smartphones, and other electronic appliances. The IoT
platforms collect and analyze the data from various devices and transfer valuable data to other devices.
This book not only exposes you to the world of IoT but also takes you deep into implementation,
security and testing. By the end of the book, you will know the prerequisites of starting any IoT
project, how to choose a right archicture, the best way to carry forward implemention, things to
consider to make it secure and test the impementation before you deploy. This book comes with a lot
of online resources which contains video tutorials, tips, examples, interview questions,etc. You may
