Practical Node-RED Programming: Learn powerful visual programming techniques and best practices for the web and IoT
Use a low-code programming approach to create event-driven applications from scratch by wiring together hardware devices, APIs, and online services
Key FeaturesDiscover how you can automate the Internet of Things (IoT) without writing huge blocks of codeLearn how to wire together flows using a browser-based visual editorHandle IoT data with little to no coding knowledgeBook DescriptionNode-RED is a free and open source flow-based programming tool used to handle IoT data that allows programmers of any level to interconnect physical I/O, cloud-based systems, databases, and APIs to build web applications without code.
Practical Node-RED Programming is a comprehensive introduction for anyone looking to get up to speed with the Node-RED ecosystem in no time. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will help you to become well versed in the foundations of Node-RED. You’ll learn how to use Node-RED to handle IoT data and build web applications without having to write complex code. Once you’ve covered the basics, you’ll explore various visual programming techniques and find out how to make sample flows as you cover web development, IoT development, and cloud service connections, and finally build useful real-world applications.
By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to use Node-RED to develop a real-world application from scratch, which can then be implemented in your business.
What you will learnUnderstand the history of Node-RED and why you need to learn a flow-based programming toolUse Node-RED to build Node.js-based applicationsHandle data for IoT devices using Node-RED flowsExplore advanced Node-RED features such as connecting repositories and customizing the flow editorFind out what the MQTT protocol is and how it relates to Node-REDCreate and publish your own nodes and flows using the Node-RED libraryWho this book is forThis Node-RED book is for web developers and IoT engineers with some background in JavaScript and Node.js. Although not necessary, familiarity with the concepts of electronics will help you to make the most out of this book.

Useful and practical introduction
As an IT professional but with no experience of Node-RED or Raspberry Pi, I found this book easy to read with every step along the way illustrated with screenshots. It also introduced me to related technologies that I now intend to follow up. Although some of the examples can be found on the Internet, I would probably not have known to go looking for them without this book. I shall be referring back to this book for many useful links and tasks.
