Chapter 1. Making Your IoT Project Smart

We're going to begin by reviewing basic statistics. Then we will learn how to sense and actuate from Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. We will also introduce various Python libraries related to statistics and data. These libraries are useful for building our project throughout this book.

By the end of this chapter, you'll have learned about the following:

  • Introducing basic statistics and data science
  • Reviewing several IoT devices and platforms
  • Sensing and actuating through external devices on IoT devices
  • Building a smart IoT project

Let's get started!
