To get the most out of this book

There are several examples of hardware design and coding examples in this book. Most of the coding examples are pseudo-code based on Python syntax. Having familiarity with some foundational calculus, information theory, electrical properties, and computer science can only help us gain a deeper insight into IoT from an architectural perspective. To get the most out of this book, you should have a Raspberry Pi Computer, preferably a 2015 model or newer and basic electronic components. You have a basic familiarity with electronic components and how to use a breadboard.
