Part 1: Getting Started with the Internet of Things

In this part, we embark on a journey to explore the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT). Starting with an in-depth understanding of the IoT architecture, its hardware components, and real-world applications, we transition into the intricacies of designing robust IoT networks. Our focus will then shift to the application protocols that empower these devices, followed by a deep dive into the communication and connectivity technologies that bind them together. Throughout these chapters, you’ll be guided by practical examples using the ESP32 and its associated kit, offering a hands-on approach to grasp the foundational knowledge and lay the groundwork for more extensive IoT projects.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, An Introduction to IoT Architecture, Hardware, and Real-Life Applications
• Chapter 2, Understanding and Designing IoT Networks
• Chapter 3, Integrating Application Protocols
• Chapter...
