What is ESP8266 and why you should learn it?

ESP8266 is among the most integrated Wi-Fi chips in the industry. Measuring just 5mm x 5mm, ESP8266 requires minimal external circuitry and integrates a 32-bit Tensilica microcontroller, standard digital peripheral interfaces, antenna switches, power amplifier, low noise receive amplifier, filters and power management modules - all in one small package. Which makes it perfect for IoT use-case design and development. In many cases, even the production IoT landscape is using ESP8266 due to its capabilities and powerful features. On top of that, it is low cost and available readily.

Why you should consider taking this course?

One of the challenges while working with ESP8266 is its learning curve. Tools and techniques which one needs to master to get comfortable while using it in projects need to be understood well with a clear understanding of basics. Keeping that in mind we have designed the Professional ESP8266 development course. This course will cover all the concepts one needs to master starting from basics, you will learn how the Architecture of ESP8266 is designed, then you will understand how the flashing is done in ESP8266 where you load your OS, connecting ESP8266 to the internet is then the major step where you will understand the capability of hardware to communicate with the internet which will enable the IoT. Most of the time hardware endpoints will be connected to the data stream network cloud which can manage scale, security, and the stream of communication. We are using a widely used platform which is PubNub with ESP8266 to demonstrate this.

In the end, we will put everything together and also have a small end to end project of a smart home where we will cover circuit design, development, and implementation with Go-Live.
