Things you’ve done online: ordered a pizza,checked the weather,booked a hotel,and reconnected with long-lost friends. Now it’s time to find out how these things work. Vinay Trivedi peels back the mystery of the Internet,explains it all in the simplest terms,and gives you the knowledge you need to speak confidently when the subject turns to technology.
This revised second edition of How to Speak Tech employs the strategy of the popular first edition: through the narrative of setting up a fictitious startup,it introduces you to essential tech concepts. New tech topics that were added in this edition include the blockchain,augmented and virtual reality,Internet of Things,and artificial intelligence.
The author’s key message is: technology isn’t beyond the understanding of anyone! By breaking down major tech concepts involved with a modern startup into bite-sized chapters,the author’s approach helps you understand topics that aren’t always explained clearly and shows you that they aren’t rocket science.
So go ahead,grab this book,start to “speak tech,” and hold your own in any tech-related conversation!
