Once it was all set up, we updated the software and installed required utilities (such as Node.js and Bluez) on the Raspberry Pi and got it ready for development. After installing the software, we studied how to deploy the Bluetooth SIG's Bluetooth gateway project and got it running with a web server. The Bluetooth gateway communicates with the web server, and we learned how the communication happens between the gateway and the web server. The chapter also extensively referenced Node.js code, as it was our development platform for both the Bluetooth gateway and the web server. 

The next chapter will be the last chapter of the book, where we will discuss the future of Bluetooth technology and how...
