This book introduces a new approach to embedded development grounded in modern
industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js the
Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to
build sophisticated websites and mobile apps.The Moddable SDK enables you to unlock the full
potential of inexpensive microcontrollers like the ESP32 and ESP8266. Coding for these
microcontrollers in C or C++ with the ESP-IDF and Arduino SDKs works for building basic
products but doesn't scale to handle the increasingly complex IoT products that customers
expect. The Moddable SDK adds the lightweight XS JavaScript engine to those traditional
environments accelerating development with JavaScript while keeping the performance benefits
of a native SDK. Building user interfaces and communicating over the network are two areas
where JavaScript really shines. IoT Development for ESP32 and ESP8266with JavaScript shows you
how to build responsive touch screen user interfaces using the Piu framework. You'll learn how
easy it is to securely send and receive JSON data over Wi-Fi with elegant JavaScript APIs for
common IoT protocols including HTTP HTTPS WebSocket MQTT and mDNS. You'll also learn how to
integrate common sensors and actuators Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) file systems and more into
your projects and you'll see firsthand how JavaScript makes it easier to combine these diverse
technologies.If you're an embedded C or C++ developer who has never worked in JavaScript don't
worry. This book includes an introduction to the JavaScript language just for embedded
developers experienced with C or C++. What You'll Learn Building installing and debugging
JavaScript projects on the ESP32 and ESP8266 Using modern JavaScript for all aspects of
embedded development with the Moddable SDK Developing IoT products with animated user
interfaces touch input networking BLE sensors actuators and more Who This Book Is For
Professional embedded developers who want the speed flexibility and power of web development
in their embedded software work Makers who want a faster easier way to build their hobby
projects Web developers working in JavaScript who want to extend their skills to hardware
products
