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 consists of two parts: the first spells out the essential terms and technologies of Internet startups to get you up to speed on the jargon you need to know; the second is a primer on the latest tech trends, including the blockchain, augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence.

Neither the Internet nor the top tech trends are beyond anyone, given the right teaching. This book breaks down the major concepts and technologies of a modern app into bite-sized chapters, helping you understand topics that usually are not explained clearly and showing you that it's not rocket science.

So go ahead, grab this book and start to speak tech.
