10 Raspberry Pi Projects For Learning IoT by Curtis Franklin Jr..
From the post:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is, arguably, the hottest topic in IT. Every organization wants to participate in the IoT, and many IT professionals want to know how to add IoT skills to their resume. There are lots of options for learning about IoT, but nothing really beats the hands-on experience.
One of the key learning platforms for IoT is the Raspberry Pi. The RasPi is a popular platform because it offers a complete Linux server in a tiny platform for a very low cost. In fact, one of the most difficult parts of using Raspberry Pi for learning about IoT is picking the right projects with which to begin.

A great way to pick up IoT skills so you can assess your vulnerability as it slowly creeps into your home. Or not, if you are security conscious.
As you already know, the IoT offers an exponential growth in bugs and unlawful access opportunities. Good news for the unlawful because I understand a “30-day cybersecurity sprint” has been ordered by Tony Scott, CIO for the United States. Take that as fair warning that the script kiddie vulnerabilities, also known as zero-day vulnerabilities in FBI press releases, are likely to disappear from government sites, over the next five (5) to ten (10) years.
