Electronics-Hobby: Getting Started with ESP8266 and IOT

For a while now, I was an Arduino hobbyist.

A year back I discovered the ESP8266 which is a micro-controller with WiFi capabilities. I immediately switched from Arduino to ESP8266 as a weapon of choice in my hobby projects.

The success Arduino had and the ESP8266 is having, shows how much the programmers community is thirsty for something that manifests their skills in the real-world; outside the day-job of Enterprise-Application-Development (Achievements only witnessed by your office colleagues).

I made Getting Started in ESP826 as an IOT presentation for the local  Fab-Lab group on December 7th 2016 .

Getting Started in ESP826 as an IOT

It is rather a hobbyist approach to the IOT subject where I explain the ESP8266 , and the different ways you can use it, while focusing on using it with the Arduino IDE.

Also I explain a bit of IOT and finally how the ESP8266 and RPI could fit in IOT -Eclipse’s 3 stack landscape .

The entire thing is made for Electronic Hobbyists and Beginners.
