Building the Web of Things

ABOUT THE BOOK

Building the Web of Things is a guide to using
cutting-edge web technologies to build the IoT. This
step-by-step book teaches you how to use web
protocols to connect real-world devices to the web,
including the Semantic and Social Webs. Along the
way youll gain vital concepts as you follow
instructions for making Web of Things devices. By
the end, youll have the practical skills you need to
implement your own web-connected products and
services.

Whats Inside

(GPIO) to a Raspberry Pi

Implement standard REST and Pub/Sub APIs

with Node.js on embedded systems

Learn about IoT protocols like MQTT and CoAP

and integrate them to the Web of Things

Use the Semantic Web (JSON-LD, RDFa, etc.)

to discover and find Web Things

Share Things via Social Networks to create the

Compose physical mashups with EVRYTHNG,

Node-RED, and IFTTT

Authors: Dominique D. Guinard and Vlad M. Trifa

SUMMARY
Because the Internet of Things is still new, there is no universal application protocol. Fortunately, the IoT can take
advantage of the web, where IoT protocols connect applications thanks to universal and open APIs.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Dominique Guinard and Vlad Trifa pioneered the Web of Things and cofounded
EVRYTHNG, a large-scale IoT cloud powering billions of Web Things.
