Learn the basics of Bluetooth LE development — all in a single weekend
This new and improved version of the best-selling book Intro to Bluetooth Low Energy is designed to help you learn the basics of Bluetooth Low Energy in a single weekend. Did you know that the current version of the Bluetooth specification is over 3,000 pages long! And it keeps getting longer with each new release! 🤯 Instead of trying to make sense of the overwhelming number of pages of the Bluetooth Specification, you can narrow your focus on what you actually need to know to start developing with Bluetooth Low Energy technology. If you’re ready to kickstart your BLE development journey, pre-order your copy of this practical guide to BLE!

What’s covered in the Intro to Bluetooth Low Energy v2.0?
Do you find that every BLE learning resource out there skips the basics? . and jumps right into details without any high-level explanations?
Learning a new technology is always a challenge, that also comes with a learning curve. Some technologies are easier to learn than others.
Unfortunately, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is one of those hard ones. The lack of good resources including blogs, tutorials, and up-to-date books that help a beginner to learn BLE makes the task even more difficult.
Say you’re assigned to a new project that involves the development of a connected IoT product. You have many options for connected technologies. You know that your product needs to send small amounts of data, consume very little power and connect to a smartphone. Then, you come across BLE and you find that it satisfies all of these requirements!
But then, you end up spending days and weeks trying to better understand it. You read through many blogs, tutorials, and books but you find that they all dive right into details and concepts, diverting you away from learning the core concepts of BLE (which should’ve come first). Additionally, this meant that you had to start over the next day, wasting even more of your precious time.
You can do better, and I will show you how.
In my journey of learning Bluetooth Low Energy and developing dozens of BLE applications, I’ve gone through many obstacles and hoops. But now, I’ve taken a step back, way back to the early days of when I first started learning about this technology. I put myself in a beginner’s shoes and I asked myself one simple question:
What are the most important basics and core concepts in BLE that I wish I had learned from the very beginning – the information that would’ve gotten me past the “break-in” period in the shortest time possible?
