This book tracks the birth and early development of data tools and data science and offers an insight over what happens when big data grows up, how it is being applied, where it is playing a role, and the consequences – good and bad alike – of data-s ascendance.
In the four years that O-Reilly Media, Inc. has produced its annual Big Data Now report, the data field has grown from infancy into young adulthood. Data is now a leader in some fields and a driver of innovation in others, and companies that use data and analytics to drive decision-making are outperforming their peers.
And while access to big data tools and techniques once required significant expertise, today many tools have improved and communities have formed to share best practices. Companies have also started to emphasize the importance of processes, culture, and people.
