"I want to thank God for helping me writing this book and his inspiration, to my wife, Mayte, and my sons, Ruben and Dario, for their support while writing this book and in general for their support in all my projects. To my parents, my brother and sister whom I love.
I hope this book covers the main topics for students that want to learn more about Internet of Things projects, and all the prerequisites for building this kind of application."
