Description
Summary
A hands-on guide a good way to teach how to design and implement scalable, flexible, and open IoT solutions the usage of web technologies. This book makes a speciality of providing the right balance of theory, code samples, and practical examples to enable you to successfully connect all sorts of devices to the web and to expose their products and services and data over REST APIs.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
Because the Internet of Things is still new, there is not any universal application protocol. Fortunately, the IoT can make the most of the web, where IoT protocols connect applications thanks to universal and open APIs.
About the Book
Building the Web of Things is a guide to the usage of state-of-the-art web technologies to build the IoT. This step by step book teaches you how to use web protocols to connect real-world devices to the web, including the Semantic and Social Webs. Along the way you’ll be able to gain vital concepts as you follow instructions for making Web of Things devices. By the end, you’ll be able to have the practical skills you want to implement your own web-connected services and products.
