Williamson J. Getting a Big Data Job For Dummies

Wiley, 2015. — 268 p.
The term big data was originally coined in 2008 by Haseeb Budhani, the chief product officer of Infineta, a wide area network (WAN) provider, to describe datasets that are so large that traditional relational database management systems (RDBMSs) couldn’t handle the processing. Getting a Big Data Job For Dummies is for anyone looking to explore big data as a career field. In this book, you gain a prescriptive guide to finding a job — from planning your education and do-it-yourself training to preparing for interviews. This book isn’t a technical manual on big data; instead, it’s a playbook for starting your career in this emerging field.
