Description

Welcome to Raspberry Pi: Full Stack, a hands-on project designed to teach you how to build an Internet-of-Things application based on the world’s most popular embedded computer.

This is an updated and improved remake of the original Raspberry Pi Full Stack. In this new course, I have updated all of the technologies involved in the current state of the Art, and have also added new content.

This course will expose you to the full process of developing a web application.

You will integrate LEDs, buttons and sensors with Javascript, HTML, web servers, database servers, routers and schedulers.

You will understand why the Raspberry Pi is such a versatile tinkering platform by experiencing first hand how well it combines:

open hardware, that includes wireless and wired networking and the ability to connect sensors and actuators,

the powerful Linux/Debian operating system, which gives you access to high-level programming languages and desktop-level software applications

and, the flexibility of open source development software which, literally, powers the cloud applications that you use every day

As you progress through the sections, you will learn how to complete a single step of the application development process.

You’ll start with the operating system, add Python and play with some common hardware. Then you'll set up the web application stack, and the application itself.

You will learn and add new features and refinements as you move through the lectures.

This course is perfect for people that have at least basic understanding of computers and electronics.

Ideally, you have experience in experimenting with the Arduino and are comfortable with the breadboard and simple components.

This course contains a substantial amount of programming. For this, you will need to be comfortable working with a text editor. Any prior knowledge of Python, Javascript or other high-level programming language will be beneficial, although it is not strictly necessary.

There are no requirements necessary to enrol; I only ask you to be ready to learn and willing to put the required time and effort.

Please don't forget to watch the free lectures in the first section of the course. These lectures will give you detailed information on the course content and the hardware you will need.

Looking forward to learning with you!

Who this course is for?

Makers who want to experience the full process of web application development

Any experience in programming with a high-level language is useful but not necessary

Experience with small breadboard circuit is useful but not necessary

Anyone who want experience working with modern web application development technologies
