Preface

Hello and welcome to Mastering Internet of Things. This book will guide you through the very fascinating subject of Internet of Things, and the emerging concept of Smart Cities. If youre a novice to the subject, dont worry, youll be introduced to it. You are assumed to know the basic principles of software development. Standard components such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and related peripherals will be used throughout the book. There is no need for knowledge of electronics, even though an understanding of the basic underlying principles will help. The book will guide you through many of the different problems each developer needs to face and master, using several practical projects. Weve chosen to use C# in all the examples. Its a modern language that will allow us to reuse code efficiently between PCs, embedded devices, smart phones, and tablets. You can choose between using free or commercial development tools. By the end, youll be an adept in the field, having mastered many of the fundamentals of Internet of Things and will be ready to join us in the effort in creating the next generation of Smart Cities and Smart Societies.
