In the first edition of Big Data Now, the O’Reilly team tracked the birth
and early development of data tools and data science. Now, with this
second edition, we’re seeing what happens when big data grows up:
how it’s being applied, where it’s playing a role, and the consequences
— good and bad alike — of data’s ascendance.
We’ve organized the 2012 edition of Big Data Now into five areas:
Getting Up to Speed With Big Data — Essential information on the
structures and definitions of big data.
Big Data Tools, Techniques, and Strategies — Expert guidance for
turning big data theories into big data products.
The Application of Big Data — Examples of big data in action, including
a look at the downside of data.
What to Watch for in Big Data — Thoughts on how big data will
evolve and the role it will play across industries and domains.
Big Data and Health Care — A special section exploring the possibilities
that arise when data and health care come together.
In addition to Big Data Now, you can stay on top of the latest data
developments with our ongoing analysis on O’Reilly Radar and
through our Strata coverage and events series. |
