Chapter 1: The Internet -- Chapter 2: Hosting and the Cloud -- Chapter 3: The Back End: Programming Languages -- Chapter 4: The Front End: Presentation -- Chapter 5: Databases: The Model -- Chapter 6: Leveraging Existing Code: APIs, Libraries, Web Services, and Open-Source Projects -- Chapter 7: Software Development: Working in Teams -- Chapter 8: Software Development: The Process -- Chapter 9: Software Development: Debugging and Testing -- Chapter 10: Attracting and Understanding Your Users -- Chapter 11: Performance and Scalability -- Chapter 12: Security -- Chapter 13: Mobile Basics -- Chapter 14: The Internet of Things -- Chapter 15: Artificial Intelligence -- Chapter 16: The Blockchain -- Chapter 17: Virtual and Augmented Reality.

“Finally, a book non-techies can use to understand the technologies that are changing our lives.” Paul Bottino, Executive Director, Technology and Entrepreneurship Center, Harvard University “A great book everyone can use to understand how tech startups work.” Rene Reinsberg, Founder at Celo; Former VP of Emerging Products, GoDaddy “Through the simplicity of his presentation, Vinay shows that the basics of technology can be straightforwardly understood by anyone who puts in the time and effort to learn.” Joseph Lassiter, Professor of Management Science, Harvard Business School and Harvard Innovation Lab 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!
