Internet of Things From Hype to Reality


Book Description

This book comprehensively describes an end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) architecture that is comprised of devices, network, compute, storage, platform, applications along with management and security components. It is organized into five main parts, comprising of a total of 11 chapters. Part I presents a generic IoT reference model to establish a common vocabulary for IoT solutions. This includes a detailed description of the Internet protocol layers and the Things (sensors and actuators) as well as the key business drivers to realize the IoT vision. Part II focuses on the IoT requirements that impact networking protocols and provides a layer-by-layer walkthrough of the protocol stack with emphasis on industry progress and key gaps. Part III introduces the concept of Fog computing and describes the drivers for the technology, its constituent elements, and how it relates and differs from Cloud computing. Part IV discusses the IoT services platform, the cornerstone of the solution followed by the Security functions and requirements. Finally, Part V provides a treatment of the topic of connected ecosystems in IoT along with practical applications. It then surveys the latest IoT standards and discusses the pivotal role of open source in IoT. “Faculty will find well-crafted questions and answers at the end of each chapter, suitable for review and in classroom discussion topics. In addition, the material in the book can be used by engineers and technical leaders looking to gain a deep technical understanding of IoT, as well as by managers and business leaders looking to gain a competitive edge and understand innovation opportunities for the future.” Dr. Jim Spohrer, IBM “This text provides a very compelling study of the IoT space and achieves a very good balance between engineering/technology focus and business context. As such, it is highly-recommended for anyone interested in this rapidly-expanding field and will have broad appeal to a wide cross-section of readers, i.e., including engineering professionals, business analysts, university students, and professors.” Professor Nasir Ghani, University of South Florida

PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification


Book Description

PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification is a comprehensive mock exam with emphasis on using the PCEP-30-02 Syllabus as guide on the question topic. The audience should have basic knowledge in Python or have a good grasp on other programming language because this is not a tutorial. All 260 questions are based on individual topics in the syllabus and all topics have been covered. Each and every topic in the syllabus have a corresponding question with sufficient representation. Exam block #1: Computer Programming and Python Fundamentals (82 questions) Objectives covered by the block (7 exam items) PCEP 1.1 Understand fundamental terms and definitions PCEP 1.2 Understand Python’s logic and structure PCEP 1.3 Introduce literals and variables into code and use different numeral systems PCEP 1.4 Choose operators and data types adequate to the problem PCEP 1.5 Perform Input/Output console operations Exam block #2: Control Flow – Conditional Blocks and Loops (37 questions) Objectives covered by the block (8 exam items) PCEP 2.1 Make decisions and branch the flow with the if instruction PCEP 2.2 Perform different types of iterations Exam block #3: Data Collections – Tuples, Dictionaries, Lists, and Strings (75 questions) Objectives covered by the block (7 exam items) PCEP 3.1 Collect and process data using lists PCEP 3.2 Collect and process data using tuples PCEP 3.3 Collect and process data using dictionaries PCEP 3.4 Operate with strings Exam block #4: Functions and Exceptions (66 questions) Objectives covered by the block (8 exam items) PCEP 4.1 Decompose the code using functions PCEP 4.2 Organize interaction between the function and its environment PCEP 4.3 Python Built-In Exceptions Hierarchy PCEP 4.4 Basics of Python Exception Handling Questions in the Practice tests are much more difficult than what is included in the Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification. I recommend doing hands-on to test the validity of the answers and emphasize on the importance of coding different permutations and combinations on the examples given. All questions will be easier to understand if the code is run on IDLE or your favorite Python IDE if you have another preference.
