Discover how to build full stack web applications with the Raspberry Pi 3 About This Book Leverage 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. Who This Book Is For This book is aimed at hobbyist, enthusiasts, and developers eager to develop embedded device-powered web applications. Prior programming experience with JavaScript, HTML5, and Node.JS will be beneficial. What You Will Learn Get up and running with your Raspberry Pi Go full stack! Learn about the end-to-end development process for web applications, right from the OS up to the actual HTML web interface Discover that JavaScript is one of the fastest growing languages today, and is the only language that can be used both on a browser and server. This book will empower you to develop in a complete JavaScript stack See that the IoT is everywhere!Connect your application to the outside world. Make use of sensors in your Raspberry Pi to give your application an edge, and unleash the full power of the Internet of Things Build a rich UI with beautiful charts and data visualizations that can run on any browser Make your software data-driven. Learn how to utilize SQLite to collect and analyze data from multiple systems In Detail Modern 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 you'll 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 usin...
