Big Data in Practice (Wiley)
Wednesday, 11 May 2016

Big data is a hot topic. Everyone understands its power and importance, but many fail to grasp the actionable steps and resources required to utilise it effectively. This book from Bernard Marr, author of Big Data (see Kay Ewbank's review) fills the knowledge gap by showing how major companies are using big data every day, from an up-close, on-the-ground perspective.
