The Internet of Things: A Look at Real-World Use Cases and Concerns (English Edition)

It seems as though you can't go anywhere these days without hearing someone talking about the Internet of Things. Unfortunately, most of the stories that are being told are just that. They're stories, most of which aren't based on real-world scenarios and use cases. That is why I decided to write this book.

In "The Internet of Things: A Look at Real-World Use Cases and Concerns", I walk you through real / actual projects that people are actively working on around the world. I will share with you real-world use cases that you can easily understand and relate to.

I have personally had the privilege of working on all of the projects and use cases mentioned in this book and decided to share those experiences with you throughout this book. Regardless of what industry you are in, I am certain you will find the examples in this book identifiable.

To give you an idea of the things discussed in this book, here is the book's table of contents.
