Why learn IoT through Arduino and Raspberry Pi?
Arduino and Raspberry Pi are general purpose microcontroller systems, Raspberry Pi being a more sophisticated one serving almost all functionalities of a computer. Learning about these would help you understand how these devices actually work and not just in theory. In addition to that, it would provide you with the much needed practical know-how and hands-on experience, which is grossly missing from the engineering curriculum. Learning how to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi means learning how hardware and software come together to create interesting and useful devices, and this knowledge opens up a tremendous career opportunity. So, whether you want to work for a small company anywhere in the country, or a large company in Silicon Valley, understanding Arduino and Raspberry Pi can open up a lot of doors.
