The Internet of Things: Do-It-Yourself at Home Projects for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black

It is a very good introduction to the IoT for us Pi and Arduino fans. I got tired of repeatedly checking it out of the local library over the last year and finally bought it...

There is a lot of content in the book, a good introduction to the Raspberry Pi and Arduino, but the book's "companion website" is a bit of a mystery - the URL for the companion website is either missing, or buried somewhere.

Excellent book, it has very interesting information for my studentsThank you

There's a lot of good stuff in here. And it's frankly a daunting topic which runs from Linux admin; thru EE; writing code in Python, Java and Arduino's lanuguage; and network admin.I guess my biggest complaint is the lack of follow thru (this obviously wasn't edited by O'Reilly).In several places, he assures us that the example code can be downloaded from the "book's companion website" and yet the URL of that site is unavailable. Nor can this site be found via the wide variety of Google search strings I tried. The publisher does not list it on their web site.The book has no appendices. One helpful appendix might have listed all the parts required for the various projects. Another might have listed URL's and other contact info for the vendors and blogs listed in the text.It's a good book. I would recommend it. But it's a bit rough around the edges.

A good book, plenty of photos, I use a few good instructions in my own to help the project.

The book covers a wide range of useful projects. There are projects for each of the three popular platforms. That is perhaps the main problem of the book. I think it tries to cover too much so the descriptions are not as clear as could be. If you are already somewhat familiar with the IoT devices and programming, then this book would give you a good overview. If you are a do it yourselfer, a more basic book describing one platform like the Arduino, with step-by-step instructions would be more appropriate.So, provided that you have sufficient technical background, I do recommend this book. The choice of projects are good and practical

Is as advertised...just not what I was looking for I guess

I don't have the book, so this is not a review. However the other review complained about the missing website. It is [...] (thanks to the Register review [...])
