About This Course:

Embark on an exciting journey into the world of IoT (Internet of Things), where you'll blend your Java programming skills with the capabilities of the Raspberry PI. This comprehensive course is designed to guide you through the process of creating a real-world IoT application that controls electrical devices and interacts with a RESTful API.

Why Take This Course?

• IoT Mastery: Dive into the forefront of technology and understand how IoT devices can interact with the physical world.
• Java Expertise: Enhance your Java programming skills, utilizing one of the most sought-after languages in software development.
• Raspberry PI Proficiency: Learn to harness the power of Raspberry PI to control real-world hardware.
• Real-World Application: Create an actual IoT system that can be used to indicate success or failure in a development show, or any other creative application you can imagine!

Course Highlights:

• Setting Up Your Development Environment: Learn from scratch how to load a boot SD Card for the Raspberry PI 3 B+ and set up Eclipse on your PI.
• Java and Pi4J: Get hands-on experience with Java 8 and the popular Pi4J library, which simplifies interaction with the Raspberry PI's GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins.
• Cross-Platform Development: Discover how to develop on platforms like Mac and transfer your portable class files to the Raspberry PI for a smoother, more efficient development process.
• RESTful API Integration: Add formal APIs to your project and control lights using REST calls from anywhere in the world.
• Electrical Control: Securely manage 110V AC with an IoT Relay and integrate it into your Java application to control lights, ideal for a home automation system or creative display.
• Real-World Project: Conclude the course by creating a setup that can turn on and off two Lava Lamps, providing a visually appealing and functional demonstration of your new IoT skills.

Course Resources:

All the source code for the class is available on my GitHub account and included as a zip file in the last lecture, so you can refer to it at any time.

Join us in this hands-on course where you'll learn the ins and outs of IoT with Java and Raspberry PI. By the end of this course, you'll have a working project that not only demonstrates your new skills but also brings a touch of magic to any room with the glow of those controlled Lava Lamps!
