-We believe this book is constituting a comprehensive manual to the IoT technology; however, it is not a full encyclopedy nor exhausts market review. The reason for it is pretty simple – IoT is so rapidly changing technology, that new devices, ideas and implementations appear every single day. Even so, once you read this book, you will be able to quickly move over IoT environment and market, chasing ideas with ease and implementing your own IoT infrastructure.
