Overview of this book

The age of connected devices is here, be it fitness bands or smart homes. It's now more important than ever to understand how hardware components interact with the internet to collect and analyze user data. The Internet of Things (IoT), combined with the popular open source language Python, can be used to build powerful and intelligent IoT systems with intuitive interfaces. This book consists of three parts, with the first focusing on the "Internet" component of IoT. You'll get to grips with end-to-end IoT app development to control an LED over the internet, before learning how to build RESTful APIs, WebSocket APIs, and MQTT services in Python. The second part delves into the fundamentals behind electronics and GPIO interfacing. As you progress to the last part, you'll focus on the "Things" aspect of IoT, where you will learn how to connect and control a range of electronic sensors and actuators using Python. You'll also explore a variety of topics, such as motor control, ultrasonic sensors, and temperature measurement. Finally, you'll get up to speed with advanced IoT programming techniques in Python, integrate with IoT visualization and automation platforms, and build a comprehensive IoT project. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with IoT development and have the knowledge you need to build sophisticated IoT systems using Python.

Imports

Our web client imports the Paho-MQTT JavaScript client library at line (1):

<title>MQTT Web Socket Example</title>
<script src="./jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="./paho-mqtt.js"></script> <!-- (1) -->

paho-mqtt.js can be also found in the chapter04/mosquitto_www folder.

The official documentation page for the Paho-MQTT JavaScript library is available at https://www.eclipse.org/paho/clients/js, while its official GitHub page is found at https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.javascript.

When you explore the Paho-MQTT JavaScript API further, start at its GitHub site and make note of any breaking changes that are mentioned. The documentation pages are known to contain code fragments that do not reflect the latest GitHub code base.

Next, we encounter the global variables.
