Summary

In this chapter, we learnt about the IoT, and how it all began. We briefly touched upon major organizations involved in the IoT, common terminology used, and we looked at different hardware products and cloud services we have available for building IoT projects. Further, we saw how Particle fits into the IoT picture, and the different products it has on offer for us to make the most of.

In the next chapter, we'll get hands-on, and learn to set up the IoT kits for our projects.
