About this eBook

This collection represents the full spectrum of data-related content we’ve published on O’Reilly Radar over the last year. Mike Loukides kicked things off in June 2010 with “What is data science?” and from there we’ve pursued the various threads and themes that naturally emerged. Now, roughly a year later, we can look back over all we’ve covered and identify a number of core data areas:

Data issues -- The opportunities and ambiguities of the data space are evident in discussions around privacy, the implications of data-centric industries, and the debate about the phrase “data science” itself.

The application of data: products and processes – A “data product” can emerge from virtually any domain, including everything from data startups to established enterprises to media/journalism to education and research.

Data science and data tools -- The tools and technologies that drive data science are of course essential to this space, but the varied techniques being applied are also key to understanding the big data arena.

The business of data – Take a closer look at the actions connected to data -- the finding, organizing, and analyzing that provide organizations of all sizes with the information they need to compete.

Ratings and reviews

This is categorized as free, to read they ask credit card info, cost shown is 0 but still my account was debited with Inr 50. Reached out to Google support and confirmed this is a temporary charge to verify purchase which will be reversed in 3-5 business days. The book is comprehensive and covers all aspect of big data.

Broad in coverage but not too deep so that data neophytes can learn something useful. It wets the appetite and provides some mental nourishment

Even after providing the data getting message I can't buy the book by this method either Google is intencily haking the client financial data or they are fooling to the client
