Course Description
Imagine a world of connected "things" (devices, vehicles, buildings) able to talk to a network, internet, to themselves and be able to take actions ?
Welcome to the IOT(Internet of Things) space, a new revolution, which will have 212 Billion Installed things, 30 Billion autonomously connected things, 3 Million Peta Bytes off Embedded Systems Data by 2020, spanning across all verticals estimated at a value of $8.9 trillion.
Those are some good reasons to look in this direction, Personally it is a truly unique space, as you get to work on both the hardware and the software side of things, be able to connect to the internet and create spectacular devices and solutions.
This course is designed to enable "YOU" to create amazing IOT products and solutions from scratch all the way to the market.Learn it by creating 3 IOT devices from scratch for Home Automation, Building Security and Assisted Living use cases!
The focus in this course it to enable and equip the audience to immediately start building IOT products. We touch all the necessary software, hardware, platform, protocols, everything in between to the point it is required. Additional study material is provided for a deep dive.
Soon there will be more apples coming out of the garage! imagination will be the only limitation.

this course was good, this increased my knowledge about the iot products and iot platforms. I think this was my good idea of doing this course. but maybe if the videos were longer (approx. half an hour) it would have been better. maybe teaching a little more about programming of arduino, node mcu, it would have increased my knowledge even more. and maybe it could let me be able to build a product that is not one of the three mentioned in the course discription

The course presentation is relatively good .. It would be great to not use handwriting along the way especially for the figures ... The structure related to the internet communication and connection was not that good ... In addition, some of the IoT platforms are not operational any more ... Some more details about how to do http, mqtt, php, and sql would be a great addition. Giving simple examples of how to display sensor readings on some web browser would be very useful along with some buttons to turn on/off some devices.

The course is very good for beginners and covers lots of different things. Some parts of the course can be known easily using online free tutorials so I suggest adding a value to these parts by more detailed explanation for the codes for example. One very important thing: never solder the microcontroller (nodeMCU in this course) directly to the board because the pins may be damaged.

Video editing is not well done - in some instances the demonstration is not visible. Overall good content
