Book Description

Modern web technology and portable computing together have enabled huge advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) space,as well as in areas such as machine learning and big data. The Raspberry Pi is a very popular portable computer for running full stack web applications. This book will empower you to master this rapidly evolving technology to develop complex web applications and interfaces.
This book starts by familiarizing you with the various components that make up the web
development stack and that will integrate into your Raspberry Pi-powered web applications. It also introduces the Raspberry Pi computer and teach you how to get up
and running with a brand new one. Next, this book introduces you to the different kinds of
sensor you’ll use to make your applications; using these skills, you will be able to create
full stack web applications and make them available to users via a web interface. Later,
this book will also teach you how to build interactive web applications using JavaScript
and HTML5 for the visual representation of sensor data. Finally, this book will teach you
how to use a SQLite database to store and retrieve sensor data from multiple Raspberry
Pi computers.
By the end of this book you will be able to create complex full stack web applications
on the Raspberry Pi 3 and will have improved your application’s performance and usability.

What you will learn

  • Get up and running with your Raspberry Pi
  • Go full stack! Learn about the end-to-end development process for web applications, right from the OS up to the actual HTML web interface
  • Discover that JavaScript is one of the fastest growing languages today, and is the only language that can be used both on a browser and server. This book will empower you to develop in a complete JavaScript stack
  • See that the IoT is everywhere!Connect your application to the
  • outside world. Make use of sensors in your Raspberry Pi to give your
  • application an edge, and unleash the full power of the Internet of Things
  • Build a rich UI with beautiful charts and data visualizations that can run
  • on any browser
  • Make your software data-driven. Learn how to utilize SQLite to collect
  • and analyze data from multiple systems

Who this book is for

This book is aimed at hobbyist, enthusiasts, and developers eager to develop embedded device-powered web applications. Prior programming experience with JavaScript, HTML5, and Node.JS will be beneficial.
