Building the Web of Things With examples in Nodejs and Raspberry Pi Dominique Guinard Vlad Trifa Books Reviews

• I am thrilled with the practical hands-on get ‘er done tools, projects and understanding that this provides. This book far exceeds my hopes for tangible help. Great job!
• Good book on the topic.
• great book and transaction
• Excellent book! It is designed perfectly for learning, especially Chap 1-5.
• The book is what someone needs to get their hands on all aspects of software engineering. You have the hardware that is RasberryPi that is probably the most popular small device outthere (number of projects on how to run your own music server, and much much more) and you have nodejs, which is is a must on any web app at this time... so this book combined the two and not only talked theory, but provided useful examples and step by step guides. I was really happy to see that security was covered in this book as well! I see number of blogs and manuals out there that talk about cool shiny thing that does abc... but they totally neglect security which makes it unusable in a prod ready app - so kuddos.
  
  I would def recommend this book to someone that would like to have a nice challenge for their full stack skills!
• Building the Web of Things is an excellent book to understand and explore the concepts and technologies underpinning the Internet of Things. The Web of Things is especially interesting because Web technologies and tools have the potential to trigger a user-driven transformation of the Internet of Things, from individual and centralised platforms to a truly distributed, organically growing digital representation of our physical and imagined world. Think of the Web of Things as the Internet of Things of the People.
  
  This book takes the reader step by step through the technology stack of the Internet of Things. Each chapter is a blend of theory and hands-on engineering, which results in a concrete deliverable, for example a Node.js application that runs on an embedded device (Raspberry Pi).
  
  To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time someone provided such a complete and comprehensive work about the Internet of Things for technical and non-technical users.
  
  Building the Web of Things is an important and much needed contribution, if the Internet of Things is truly reach its full potential. Because in it’s current shape, building applications and products for the Internet of Things requires a level of technical understanding and effort that discourages all but the most dedicated users.
  
  The Web of Things promises to remove the technical hurdles by using user-friendly Web technologies and tools that allow non-technical users to use, share and build applications, devices and information on the Internet of Things.
• This is a very good book, and you will learn some very cool things using the raspberry pi (mind blowing as a matter of fact). The only thing i didn't like about it was that it doesn't teach you about circuits. So i found myself BLINDLY just connecting things (according to instructions in the book) without understanding why i was doing that. I am a developer so i know the javascript part, but i thought the book felt short of explaining how the other side works. I wouldn't be able to just order a sensor and set it up on the raspberry pi (i wouldn't know what to connect the components)...because the book didn't teach you the "whys" of connecting things. I found that information in another book ( JavaScript on Things, also from Manning). After i got that knowledge i came back to this book and continued with better confidence.
• I cannot recommend this book enough. Despite having a good knowledge of the IoT and Web of Things spaces myself ( I've worked in the industry since 2014 ), I've found the content to be really useful and educative.
  
  I enjoyed the fact that as new concepts of the WoT are introduced, there are real examples for you to follow and program in your Raspberry Pi, which makes the book a real journey. You go from zero to hero whilst having fun along the way.
  
  All in all, a highly recommended book for beginners, WoT enthusiasts, developers wanting to move into the physical devices world and / or anyone that would like to understand what all the connected devices and objects universe is about !
