Course Description

This IoT introduction course is targeted at individuals who want to understand what the Internet of Things is, how it evolves from the Internet, what the core technologies and systems are and how it is implemented. The course has 3 parts: • What is IoT? • The Technologies Underlying IoT • The 4 Pillars of IoT We start by showing the step by step transformation of the Internet as we know it to the Internet of Things. After this we take an in depth look at the many technologies that are part of any IoT implementation, describing their functions, technology requirements and how they are all combined into business solutions and applications. Finally, we recap what we have learned providing a high level view of the 4 pillars that make up any complete IoT solution.

What am I going to get from this course?

Understand what the Internet of Things is, identify the technologies that make up the internet of things and understand how the four major components are put together to create IoT solutions and applications.

Really liked the course. Very well planned and fast paced course for anyone who wants to understand what is Internet of Things. As a beginner when we have to concentrate more on IoT related features, I ended up spending more time understanding the impact of IoT in our day to day activities and what good it can do for a business. Otherwise, it was a good course. Surely, it put me on a fast track for IoT career.

Useful class but could work with a little more information of the IoT features. But overall pretty good defining IoT technologies, definitions and concepts and implementations, and how they are all combined into business solutions and applications.
