Summary

We covered a lot of topics throughout this book and provided several projects to help you practically implement the knowledge you’ve gained.

You have learned a variety of essential skills throughout this book. For instance, you can now set up your own Raspberry Pi and you know what MQTT is, which means you can use this communication protocol in any of your projects. Furthermore, you have learned how to set up the Node MCU and ESP32 development boards and how to write efficient and robust code for them. At this point, you can build two fairly complex prototype projects on your own: an IoT Weather Station and a Smart Home control system!

After that, you learned the basics of Bash (the language used to write and execute Linux commands) and how to set up an online MQTT broker, either on an independent provider or on your very own virtual machine. Finally, you learned how to connect your IoT devices to AWS IoT and how to connect your LAMP server to your Raspberry Pi...
