WiFi IoT Architecture: From Firmware to Full Stack Web Development

Global Connectivity: Explore WiFi and IoT with ESP8266

Welcome to the WiFi IoT Architecture course. This course is designed to transform you into a pioneering IoT professional with a specialisation in WiFi technologies.

Our curriculum begins by exploring how WiFi complements 4G LTE in the IoT landscape, we'll explore when and why to use each technology and the power of combining them. We delve into the ESP8266 radio chip, a popular component in modern IoT solutions, and guide you through bare-metal firmware development with STM32 microcontrollers.

The curriculum delves into advanced sensor data handling, exploring how to maximize efficiency and value from your IoT systems. We'll also explain the intricacies of designing IoT devices that can seamlessly switch between WiFi and 4G LTE, ensuring continuous connectivity.

In the next phase-

We will step into the world of sensor data collection and transmission, where you'll understand the HTTP protocol. Guided by hands-on experiences, you'll transform raw data into powerful information.

Server-Side Development

The course then pivots to server-side development. Our tutorials will guide you through HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and SQLite, coming together in the creation of a custom server equipped with a modern web interface. This is where your IoT solution finds its home and becomes accessible to the world.

The high point of the course lies in the creation of a real-world IoT solution. By combining all the skills you've gathered, you'll create a holistic IoT system, ready to impact industries, cities, and lives.
