Big Data Fundamentals: Concepts, Drivers & Techniques (The Pearson Service Technology Series from Thomas Erl) Paperback – 13 January 2016

easy to read and understand basic concepts about Big Data

Book is good all concepts are very well explained and language is also very easy

Good book with lot of insights on Big Data.

Pros :BIG Data subtopics are highly interlinked. And you need to read all of them from one single source to appreciate this link and give yourself a contextual understanding. This book does that.The case study given at the end of each chapter also helps you link the topics.Content is easy to understand.Gives you a broad understanding. Touches each topic well enough that you can go ahead and read from some other source.Cons:Pages are pathetic. Didnt expect this from Pearson publication (if at all it was the right Pearson). I got a book that was simply photocopied.Diagrams are useless. Extremely useless. Only 20% diagram will give you some take away. Some diagrams are uselessly repeated 8-9 times in consecutive pages, maybe just to increase the content.MY SUGGESTION:Dont purchase this book if you are getting it above INR 150-200. Go for some other book. BUT WITHIN THAT PRICE, ITS A GOOD BUY.

Nice book for the basics. Covers enough. Pages are not that good but acceptable. I recommend this. 4*s because of the pages, it feels like printed A4 pages!!

I was seriously apprehensive about the authenticity of the book and hence decided to return. The pages seem to be cheap photocopied ones.

MUST READ

Very good reference
