IoT with Python (Updated 6/2020)

What you'll learn

The aim of this course is to introduce Python to those with little or very little programming knowledge, and then to take them through to become an experienced Python developer.
You will have an introduction to Computers, Programming and Internet of Things.
We take you through the basics of Hardware and Software
We teach you how computers store data and how a program works
We will introduce you to advanced concepts such as functional programming, object orientation, and exception handling.
You will be able to Rapidly prototype even complex IoT applications with Python and put them to practical use
You will enhance your IoT skills with the most up-to-date applicability in the field of wearable tech, smart environments, and home automation
You will interact with hardware, sensors, and actuators and control your DIY IoT projects through Python

Requirements

We assume very little knowledge or experience of Python or programming or IoT

Description

Learn Python, the language for IoT

How great would it be to write your own computer program? Or, design a web or desktop application that millions of people could enjoy? Both are a possibility if you learn how to code in Python. Python is the very versatile, object-oriented programming language used by startups and tech giants, Google, Facebook, Dropbox, and IBM. Python is also recommended for aspiring young developers who are interested in pursuing careers in Security, Networking, and Internet-of-Things.

Raspberry Pi development comes in many flavors, but Python is common and powerful. In this project-based course, learn how to work with this highly readable language—along with a Raspberry Pi board—to build a secure ecosystem of interconnected IoT devices. We will be reviewing the basics of IoT smart devices, as well as several important IoT communication models.

You will work on 4 Development kits as part of this Hands-on IoT with Python course:

•Live Weather monitoring

•Motion detection in a room and image capture

•Tank alarm using Water level detection sensor

•Smart trashcan

What you’ll learn:

Problem-solve using an algorithmic approach.

Understand programmer's work in the software development process.

Gain knowledge on how a program is executed in a computer environment

Hardware considerations

IoT communication protocols

Internet security and cryptography

Designing the project architecture

Integrating sensors with Raspberry Pi

Who this course is for:

Children with age groups 8-15 years
College grads who need a solid introduction to IoT and Python
