This book explains the common underlying technological themes that underpin the new era of connected services in a post Web 2.0 epoch

In this book, the author explores the underlying technological themes that underpin the new era of connected services. Furthermore, it explains how the technologies work and what makes each of them significant, for example, the potential for finding new meaning in data in the world of BIG DATA platforms, often referred to as ""No-SQL"" databases. In addition, it tackles the newest areas of technology such as HTML5, Android, iOS, open source, mash-ups, cloud computing, real-time Web, augmented reality, and more. Finally, the book discusses the opportunities and challenges of a connected world where both machines and people communicate in a pervasive fashion, looking beyond the hype and promise of emerging categories of communication such as the ""Internet of Things"" and ""Real-time Web"" to show managers how to understand the potential of the enabling technologies and apply them for meaningful applications in their own world.
