Quickly start programming and controlling custom electronics projects from the Cloud using the Particle Photon

This hands-on guide offers an introduction to the Internet of Things and features interesting applications for the Particle Photon―the tiny yet powerful electronics development board. Through clear descriptions and step-by-step examples, you will learn how to construct your own devices, program them through the Particle IDE, and control them over the Internet.

Programming the Photon: Getting Started with the Internet of Things thoroughly explains all of the Photon’s features, including I/O ports and shields. Electronics expert and hobbyist Christopher Rush shows, step-by-step, how to attach external hardware, connect to Wi-Fi networks, write Photon applications, and work with Particle Cloud. You’ll discover how to program and control the Photon from any smart phone using the Particle app.
