CISS 130 Internet of Things (IoT) Programming

This course will provide students with both an overarching top-down technical and business perspective of the Internet of Things (IoT) and a bottom-up perspective of programming IoT applications in a Raspberry Pi/Linux/Java environment. From the top-down, this course will look at the IoT and the emergence of physical/real-world things becoming visible and actionable via Internet and web technologies. The top-down exploration of existing IoT applications will allow students to understand what IoT technologies are available and how they are used in present environments. With this top-down understanding, students will program an experimental Linus-based Raspberry Pi platform in Java to implement a prototype that will be presented as a final project.
NOTE: Distance learning students will be required to purchase their own Raspberry Pi.
