Course Description
This is a complete hands-on course on design and development of an IOT system from scratch. The major components (or modules) of an IOT system are a smart device, MQTT broker, cloud server, a web server with user interface through Google Home or Alexa. In this course, the students will learn to design and develop every component of an IOT system. They will learn how to design the hardware of an IOT smart device, learn how to develop the firmware using Arduino IDE. Then they will learn installing a cloud server and configuring it. Then, they will learn installing an MQTT broker in the cloud server, as well as installing a Django web server. They will then learn writing publish/subscribe programs for MQTT as well as web server so that users can activate any port of a smart device by clicking appropriate buttons on the browser of a remote computer. They will, then learn about linking the Google Home console server with their cloud server. They will learn how to write the needed programs for their web server to handle account linking and action fulfillment. At the completion of this step, they will be able to activate any port of their device by voice command on Google Home on their smart phone.
After completion of this course, students will acquire skills and knowledge about every module of an IOT system.
At the end of this hand-on course, they would have also developed a working IOT system that they can use in their home or office for applications such as turning ON/OFF of an equipment or any electrical load, opening a garage door, or using as a keyless entry controller to their house using a smart phone. They also would have built an IOT system that they can experiment with and learn further to enhance their skills and expertise in IOT. They also will have a system that can be used for making marketable products.

The course is well organized and covers a broad range of relevant topics. However, some of the content would benefit from being updated to reflect the current availability of tools and changes in cloud platforms. Beyond building an IoT system, the course provided useful exposure to important concepts and technologies, including MQTT servers and the integration of applications such as Google Home. The course is suitable for learners who already have a strong foundation in cloud computing environments and Python programming. With these prerequisites, the material can be approached more effectively, and its practical components appreciated more fully.

Very practical oriented course and good for IOT real time programming. But what I feel do python and iot course for beginners (there are free courses in youtube) then hop into this course, you ll get ample knowledge to build your skill

Clear and detailed explanation of concepts. Easy to follow and understand. It would be good to have provided the circuit diagrams as extra materials that can be downloaded to aid more study and better understanding

Some contexts were not well explained, but in the overall, afterwards, one can figure out, but it would be better with an initial explanation without any assumptions.

This is the best course for learning about complete IoT systems. By the end, you will have a fully functional product to show for your efforts. The explanations are concise and the instructor has a thorough understanding of the subject matter. If you get stuck at any point, try to work through the problem and seek solutions online – this will help to deepen your understanding. The instructor is also very helpful and provides valuable guidance and solutions. I highly recommend this course to all IoT enthusiasts.

This course has several bugs in the code. You should review the code you are posting. Also, you explained that not knowing about Python is not a requirement but it covers 50% of what you are putting in this course. I would not recommend this-

This is an excellent course for Moderate level learners. They way Professor explained was very easy to understand. This gives a complete knowledge on How an IoT system works from end to end. And whenever I faced logical issues while working on this, Professor assisted immediately to guide that issues. This course is worth for Moderate level learners.

This course is very interesting and being good foundation to understand about what is MQTT and IoT system. Thank you Mr. Raman for guiding through the course. Without your guide it is impossible for me to catch up this course, as a beginner. This course comes complete notes in pdf and scripts for each lesson. I really recommended this course for the beginners like me. Thank you Mr. Raman, I really appreciate you guidance.
