Dr. Ali Ebrahim of Computer Engineering Department, University of Bahrain

This workshop will go through the essential knowledge needed to prototype simple IoT applications using the MQTT protocol. The workshop will include high-level description of IoT concepts, MQTT protocol, Microcontrollers, and embedded software development. Attendees will gain practical knowledge in programming the popular ESP32 microcontroller module and using the Arduino IDE. After attending this workshop, attendees should be able to implement a simple MQTT client on an ESP32 board, connect the ESP32 to an MQTT broker and perform simple Publish/Subscribe transactions. 

Pre-requisites:

• Basic programming experience is recommended for attending this workshop.
• Optional: access to a PC (attendees can use a web-based simulator to replicate the demos in the workshop)
