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! What You'll Learn Understand the
basics of new and established technologies such as blockchain,
artificial intelligence (AI), augmented and virtual reality (AR and
VR), Internet of Things (IoT), software development, programming
languages, databases, and more Listen intelligently and speak
confidently when technologies are brought up in your business Be
confident in your grasp of terms and technologies when setting up
your own organization's application Who This Book Is For Students
