Vinay Trivedi—entrepreneur, investor, and tech enthusiast—employs the startup story line as his frame for explaining in plain language the technology behind our daily user experiences, the successful strategies of social media giants, the bold aspirations of tiny startups, and the competitive adaptations of ordinary businesses of all sizes and sectors. Along the way, he demystifies all those tech buzzwords in our business culture whose precise meanings are so often elusive even to the people using them.

Internet hardware, application software, and business process: the working premise of this book is that none of it is beyond the basic understanding of nontechnical business readers. Trivedi peels back the mystery, explains it all in simplest terms, and gives his readers the wherewithal to listen intelligently and speak intelligibly when the subject turns to the Internet and business.

Readers of How to Speak Tech will acquire basic fluency in the language of all aspects of technology in business, including:

Website hosts and programming languages for web apps
Design and display on the front end
Database Management, APIs, open-source programs, and feeds
Performance and Scalability
