About this title

Synopsis

Part of "That Book on" series installment.

Data is a crucial commodity, increasing at an exponential rate. That Book on Big Data is a crash course covering big data, who’s using it, and its implications.

Inside you’ll find definitions, techniques, and tools used by practitioners. Sampling the generators of data, and those hungrily consuming it, we dive into high profile use cases and those that fly under the radar. We’ll also consider personal implications of big data on everything (and everyone!).

In about an hour, we’ll outline the current and future states of a data-driven world, whether you’re looking to join the conversation or prepare for change around the corner.
