Non-Technical Guide To Web Technologies: Teaching business people how to communicate with developers

Hunter

@tommychheng wrote this to help marketers, salesfolk, recruiters, and support people communicate better with the technical side of the house. I see a strong argument for reading this book if you don't have much technical grounding: Primarily: your career would be well served if you could speak more intelligently about the technologies behind the product(s) your company sells. Secondarily: speaking more fluently about technology would open up better lines of communication between you and the people who build your company's product. Lastly: reading this book might reduce the number of expensive (or technically painful, even ludicrous) product ideas you come to the product team with. All good things.

@bentossell The idea was long lived: throughout my career, I interacted with PMs, designers, self-taught programmers, recruiters who I felt with a slightly more informed technical background, could improve their daily interactions with engineers. It took me over a year to finish the book. I started with an outline and started drilling down. Writing wasn't the hard part, it was the editing process! I sent it to many co-workers and friends to clarify the explanations. I hope the Product Hunt community enjoys this book!

I have a question. For someone non technical building an app. Would this book touch on language and explanations relevant to my journey? @tommychheng
