Full Stack Web Development with Raspberry Pi 3 by Soham Kamani

Key FeaturesLeverage JavaScript, HTML5, and Cloud APIs to create visual representations and interactive web pages.Learn to install and use a Node.js-based web framework to develop Raspberry Pi 3-powered web applications.A step-by-step guide that will cover from setting up a embedded system to developing embedded, device-powered interactive web applications.Book DescriptionModern web technology and portable computing together have enabled huge advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) space,as well as in areas such as machine learning and big data. The Raspberry Pi is a very popular portable computer for running full stack web applications. This book will empower you to master this rapidly evolving technology to develop complex web applications and interfaces.This book starts by familiarizing you with the various components that make up the web development stack and that will integrate into your Raspberry Pi-powered web applications. It also introduces the Raspberry Pi computer and teach you how to get up and running with a brand new one. Next, this book introduces you to the different kinds of sensor youll use to make your applications; using these skills, you will be able to create full stack web applications and make them available to users via a web interface. Later, this book will also teach you how to build interactive web applications using JavaScript and HTML5 for the visual representation of sensor data. Finally, this book will teach you how to use a SQLite database to store and retrieve sensor data from multiple Raspberry Pi computers.By the end of this book you will be able to create complex full stack web applications on the Raspberry Pi 3 and will have improved your applications performance and usability.What you will learnGet up and running with your Raspberry PiGo full stack!
