The Big Data MBA: Creating A Living Document

My goal with the “Big Data: Understanding How Data Powers Business” book was to create a living document or book where I could easily share updates and integrate new ideas and concepts with the existing ideas and concepts in the book. Given that’s not easily possible, I will instead create a mapping between new blogs and what chapters of the book those new blogs enhance. I will continue to drive community and share ideas, concepts and next techniques with the community around the book. As they say, watch this space!
