What is the Internet of Things?
-
- An Internet of Things solution usually requires a back-end server to receive and process data coming from sensors. Cloud platforms allow new solutions to be created and deployed very rapidly without having to worry about how to host the application. This series of lessons introduces you to a cloud based Platform as a Service and an open source rapid application development environment called NodeRED.

Introduction to NodeRED-1 11 min (mp4) * Node-RED is a visual tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services – for wiring the Internet of Things. Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range nodes in the palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a single-click. JavaScript functions can be created within the editor using the a rich text editor. A built-in library allows you to save useful functions, templates or flows for re-use. The light-weight runtime is built on Node.js, taking full advantage of its event-driven, non-blocking model. This makes it ideal to run at the edge of the network on low-cost hardware such as the Raspberry Pi as well as in the cloud. With over 120,000 modules in Node's package repository, it is easy to extend the range of palette nodes to add new capabilities. The flows created in Node-RED are stored using JSON which can be easily imported and exported for sharing with others. An online flow library allows you to share your best flows with the world.

MQTT(Message Queue Telemetry Transport) * MQTT 5 min (mp4) * “MQTT(Message Queue Telemetry Transport) is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/”Internet of Things” connectivity protocol. It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport.” * Small Code footprint * Low Power consumption * Low network bandwidth * A pub-sub system
* This differs from peer-to-peer communication, like email or SMS texting, where the sender sends a message to a specified receiver.  * In pop sub communication, there is a broker in the middle on the sender, publishes data to the broker against a topic. So you can think of it almost like a bulletin board. Where the sender is not really aware of who is going to consume the data. The advantages of the coupling, the sender and receiver means that a message can be sent to multiple recipients without the sender needing to know who those recipients are.  * Quiz: MQTT in Watson IoT Platform 5 questions * [MQTT Exercise 10 min (pdf)](https://github.com/leehaesung/A_Developer_Guide_To_the_IoT_IBM/blob/master/02_Lecture_Videos/35_MQTT%20Exercise_10min.pdf) * [You reached the end of this learning module.
