Use Raspberry Pi with Java to create innovative devices that power the internet of things!

Raspberry Pi with Java: Programming the Internet of Things (IoT) fills an important gap in knowledge between seasoned Java developers and embedded-hardware gurus, taking a project-based approach to skills development from which both hobbyists and professionals can learn. By starting with simple projects based on open-source libraries such as Pi4J, hobbyists can get immediate results without a significant investment in time or hardware.

Later projects target simplified industrial use cases where professionals can start to apply their skills to practical problems in the fields of home automation, healthcare, and robotics. This progression prepares you to be an active participant in the IoT revolution that is reshaping our lives.

For the hobbyist:

Hardware used in projects is affordable and easily accessibleFollows a project-based learning approach with a gradual learning curveProjects are based on open-source code repositories with commercial friendly licenses

For the professional computer engineer:

Uses an industry-standard platform that allows for high performance, secure, production-ready applicationsIntroduces Java SE Embedded for large devices and Java ME Embedded for small devicesCode is portable to a wide variety of ARM and MIPS based platformsProvides practical skill development with advanced projects in the fields of home automation, healthcare, and robotics

JavaFX is essentially Sun's approach to Adobe Flash/Flex and Microsoft's Silverlight. Pro JavaFX(TM) Platform examines this important Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology.

This book shares the secrets of the coolest iPhone apps being built today by the best iPhone developers—invaluable knowledge for anyone who wants to create the app that everyone is talking about.
