Introduction to Internet of Things

Course Summary

The Introduction to Internet of Things training course will take a deeper dive into embedded systems, the Raspberry Pi Platform, and the Arduino environment for building devices that can control the physical world.

The course begins with students learning what Internet of Things (IoT) is and its impact. Next students will learn about embedded systems in order to design, build, and test a microcontroller-based embedded system, producing a working project based on a real-world use case. The course concludes with students learning how to make design trade-offs between hardware and software as well as key components of networking to ensure that they understand how to connect their device to the Internet.

The main emphasis will be on C++ as a coding language throughout the course.

Purpose
Learn more about what IoT is and how to develop hardware and software applications to control physical devices.
Audience
This course is designed for developers who are already familiar with the C++ language.
