-====== Preface ======
+<pagebreak>
-This book and its offshoots were prepared to provide a supplementary and practical add-on for the main book on the Internet of Things.
+=== Preface ===
-The primary goal of this book is to provide the detailed description of the VREL - IoT laboratories with remote access for those, who interface our labs remotely.
+This book and its offshoots were prepared to provide comprehensive information about the Internet of Things on the engineering level.\\
-Its secondary goal is to give ideas on the IoT projects to the bachelor students, master students, technology enthusiasts and engineers.
+Its goal is to introduce IoT to bachelor students, master students, technology enthusiasts and engineers willing to extend their current knowledge with the latest hardware and software achievements in the scope of the Internet of Things.\\
+This book is also designated for teachers and educators willing to prepare a course on IoT.
-This book is also a good starting point for teachers, tutors and educators to start preparing of other materials for their implementation of the practical course on IoT, construct their laboratories, develop a module or even full curriculum related to the IoT.
+We (Authors) assume that persons willing to study this content possess some general knowledge about IT technology, e.g. understand what an embedded system is, know the general idea of programming (in C/C++) and are aware of wired and wireless networking as it exists nowadays.
-We (authors) assume that persons willing to study this content are already familiar with our "Introduction to the IoT book" or has equivalent knowledge and has at least elementary skills on programming in C, Python and C#.
+This book constitutes a comprehensive manual for IoT technology; however, it is not a complete encyclopedia nor exhausts the market. The reason for it is pretty simple – IoT is so rapidly changing technology that new devices, ideas and implementations appear daily. Once you read this book, you can quickly move over the IoT environment and market, easily chasing ideas and implementing your IoT infrastructure.
-We believe this manual will help to seamlessly start your work with real IoT devices, whether you have them on your desk or you access them remotely using our VREL model.
+We also believe this book will help adults who took their technical education some time ago to update their knowledge.
-**Note: Practice makes a master, so enjoy programming IoT!**
+We hope this book will let you find brilliant ideas in your professional life, see a new hobby, or even start an innovative business.
+** Playing with real or virtual hardware and software is always fun, so keep going! **
