IoT Development with Windows 10 IoT Core 2: Enabling the Cloud and Security
With Windows 10 IoT Core, you can incorporate the power of Windows into your Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This course is the second in a series of two courses by Michael Lehman; both courses are designed to help you get up and running with Windows 10 IoT. Here, Michael shows how to build a full IoT device based on a Raspberry Pi 3, including effectors, sensors, and cloud connectivity to Windows Azure.

Topics include:
– Reviewing hardware options
– Exploring the Sense HAT
– Assembling a prototype
– Designing and implementing UX
– Implementing sensor access
– Reviewing cloud options
– Installing cloud tools
– Sending data to the cloud
– Reviewing Windows 10 IoT security
– Planning for production security
– Moving from prototype to production

IoT Foundations: Low-Power Wireless Networking
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been significantly driven by the increasing number of networked devices with ubiquitous wireless connectivity. Low-power wireless networking is one of the most important connectivity technologies required by today’s IoT systems, ranging from smart home appliances to smart city systems. In this course, explore the key technologies and foundations of low-power wireless networking for IoT. Ryan Hu begins by introducing wireless networking for IoT, and going over the basics of wireless communication and wireless networking. Next, he presents and compares the underlying wireless networking technologies in terms of system architectures, communication paradigms, performance, and use cases. Then, he explains how to integrate various networking technologies into an IoT system. To wrap up, Ryan discusses the use of low-power wireless networking in a typical lighting control system for both smart home and smart city environments.

Topics include:
– Low-power wireless networking use cases
– Advantages and disadvantages of wireless networking for IoT applications
– Wireless: Communication, networking, topologies, and architectures
– Determining the power consumption on a wireless network for IoT
– Identifying security risks
– Addressing risks in the key architectural elements
– Reviewing low-power IoT data communication paradigms
