Review: MUST READ!! - Changed How Interact With My Clients and Team - I bought this book as it came up on my "Suggested Reading List" and I can tell you, it has taught me more in a shorter amount of time than what I' learned over a span of 3 to 4 years growing up. In high school, I worked as a technician at an Apple Reseller and have taught myself web basics (HTML, CSS, Javascript), but I really wish this book was out when I was growing up. I could gotten up to speed A LOT faster. Trivedi's eloquent yet casual way of explaining complex concepts like databases, APIs, front end frameworks, and more makes it easy for anyone to pick up and read. Technology no longer is in the hands of few. It is now a part of everyone's daily lives and saying up-to-date has never been more important. This book is an easy, quick way to get you up to speed. If you want to get into tech entrepreneurship this book is a must. I am in education space currently and I think it could be value to be used in intro programming courses or S.T.E.M. curriculums. I highly recommend this book!!
Review: this book serves as a great primer. There are few typos in the books - As a finance student trying to learn more about the tech sector, this book serves as a great primer. There are few typos in the books. But overall, the language is simple and the materials are easy to understand. It's a short book of IT 101, and you get to learn something about different programming languages, what are front-end, back-end, and database, debugging process, etc. Any finance/business major who wants to get into technology banking or work in a startup should read this book. The book doesn't have any graphics, but the author recommended "How The Internet Works" if you want further details. That book covers a lot more topics with graphics, and I'd recommend it after you finish "How to Speak Tech."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My review on the Non-Techie's Guide to Technology Basics in Business
*by A***H on May 16, 2014*

My take on this book could be over simplified as I am (as the book suggests) a complete non-techie. It is the first "technical" book I have read. Contrary to my misgivings about not being able to get through it, I was pleasantly surprised. For those of you who are not familiar with any IT terms viz., CSS, HTML, DBMS, etc., this book demystifies some of the jargon. Helps you understand the complicated business of coding, web development, database management etc. Recommended for novices and beginners
