商品描述

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 who want to understand different technologies relevant to their future careers at startups and established organizations, as well as business and other non-technical professionals who encounter and require an understanding of key technical terms and trends to succeed in their roles

您在線上做過的事情：訂購比薩、查看天氣、預訂酒店，以及重新聯繫失聯已久的朋友。現在是時候了解這些事情是如何運作的了。Vinay Trivedi 揭開了互聯網的神秘面紗，以最簡單的術語解釋一切，並提供您在談論技術時所需的知識，讓您能夠自信地發言。

這本《如何說技術》的修訂第二版採用了受歡迎的第一版的策略：通過設立一個虛構初創公司的敘述，向您介紹基本的技術概念。本版新增的技術主題包括區塊鏈、擴增實境和虛擬實境、物聯網以及人工智慧。

作者的關鍵信息是：技術並不是任何人無法理解的。通過將與現代初創公司相關的主要技術概念分解為易於消化的章節，作者的方式幫助您理解那些並不總是清楚解釋的主題，並向您展示這些並不是火箭科學。

所以，快來拿起這本書，開始「說技術」，在任何與技術相關的對話中保持自信。

- 在設立自己組織的應用程式時，對術語和技術有信心
