NEW COURSE - IOT101 – 2-Day Programming the Internet of Things (IOT) - $1897

Internet of Things (IoT) has been the buzzword for the recent years and is set to explode in the year of 2015. IoT is a network of objects or “things” that are interconnected by exchanging data with one another. These “things” are
typically sensors or devices that have their own dedicated uses – for example, motion sensors, gas sensors, beacons, barometers, etc. The real value of IoT is in the use of the data collected – analysis can be made on the data collected to analyze trends/shifts in atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.

In this course, participants will learn how to build various IoT systems by using the Raspberry Pi as the base collection point. The Raspberry Pi is an excellent candidate for IoT projects because it can run a full Web server and database server. Participants will learn how to create projects that save the data onto MySQL databases, and access them remotely through the Web using the PHP programming language.

Course fee includes the IOT Starter Kit containing all the various sensors, devices, and Raspberry Pi used in the course. Participants will be able to bring back the IOT Starter Kit for their own use.

Topics
• Programming languages covered
    o Crash course on PHP and MySQL
    o Crash course on Python
• Systems you will build
    o How to build a Student Attendance System using NFC (Near Field Communication)
    o How to build a Proximity Sensing System using beacons
    o How to build a Surveillance System using Webcams
    o How to build a Smoke/Gas Detection System using smoke/gas sensors
    o How to build a Motion Detection System using motion sensor and pi-cam
    o How to build a Short Text Display System using LED panels and a breadboard
• You will learn
    o How to write data collected from devices into a MySQL database
    o How to access the data from the Web using PHP
    o How to write Python scripts to build the various IoT systems

IOS301 – Programming iBeacon using Bluetooth Low Energy

In recent years, we have seen a proliferation of Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) devices. Bluetooth LE, as it name implies, uses low energy for transmitting data.  This is very useful for devices that require long-battery life, such as heart rate monitor, temperature sensors, etc.  In iOS, Bluetooth LE functionalities are encapsulated in the Core Bluetooth Framework. Using the Core Bluetooth Framework, you can now write Bluetooth-enabled iOS applications that are able to communicate with Bluetooth LE devices. 

n iOS 7, Apple has taken Bluetooth LE one step further with the introduction of iBeacon. iBeacons are physical devices that use Bluetooth LE to continuously transmit its location.  When an iBeacon-enabled iOS application detects the presence of an iBeacon, the application will be sent a notification. Using the data transmitted by the iBeacons, the application can calculate the distance the user is away from the iBeacon. This is very useful for building location-based services that targets the insides of a building (such as malls and hospitals), where traditional location-based techniques are not quite adequate in knowing which floor a user is at.
