About this title

Synopsis

 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic! Analysts call it a disruptive technology. Competing standards and technologies pop up daily, and there are no tangible signs of a single protocol that will let all devices, services, and applications communicate seamlessly. Fortunately, there's a great universal IoT application platform available now: the World Wide Web. Web standards and tools provide the ideal substrate for connected devices and applications to exchange data. This vision is called the Web of Things.

 

 

 

Building the Web of Things is a hands-on guide for designing and implementing scalable, flexible, and open IoT solutions using Web technologies. This book provides the right balance of theory, code samples, and practical examples, and shows how to connect all sorts of devices to the Web and expose their services and data over REST APIs. After building a simple proof of concept app, readers will learn a systematic methodology and system architecture for connecting things to the Web, finding other things, sharing data, and combining these components to rapidly build distributed applications and physical mashups. With each chapter, readers gain the knowledge and skills needed to take full advantage of a new generation of real-time, web-connected devices and services, giving them the ability to build scalable applications that merge the physical and digital worlds.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

The Web of Things is about using the latest Web technologies as the underlying application-level protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). While the Internet of Things mainly focuses on the networking side of how to connect things, the Web of Things focuses on the application layer, i.e., how things can expose and share their data and services so that they can easily be consumed by Web applications.

About the Authors

Dominique Guinard is the CTO and co-founder of EVRYTHNG, a large-scale Web of Things cloud making products smart by connecting them the Web. Dom Guinard got his Ph.D. from ETH Zurich, where he worked on the early concepts of the Web of Things architecture: an open application layer for the Internet of Things. Recently Dom joined the Web of Things Interest Group at W3C with EVRYTHNG as a founding member organization.

Vlad Trifa is co-founder and head of R&D at EVRYTHNG - a new Internet software company providing online profiles, or "Active Digital Identities," for any physical object. He completed his PhD at the Institute for Pervasive Computing at ETH Zurich working on the Web of Things and real-time data sharing, collection, and processing using Web technologies.
