Author, frequent speaker, and Chief Technology Officer Nelson Petracek helps shape the development of TIBCO technology platforms and products. With over twenty years' experience, he draws upon his deep knowledge of APIs, cloud, event-driven architectures, analytical applications, and other innovation areas to advise on information creation and delivery patterns.
"As an old OLTP warhorse, I've always asked Nelson, 'Why
blockchain?' But we could never finish the answer over a beer,
especially the 'how.' Now, here is the complete answer in one
place. Just in time for my next project."
Brian Douglass, VP of Technology, Rush Street Gaming, LLC
"Petracek does what can be extremely difficult: make a book about
highly technical concepts meant for enterprise leaders actually
interesting to read. Forget what it was like falling asleep
cradling your university textbooks. With his characteristic wit and
humor, he takes readers on a journey through foundational concepts
without being patronizing. An excellent reference covering
important topics and their applicability to enterprise
environments, including relevant examples and helpful diagrams that
you'll probably want to borrow for your next executive
briefing."
Barb MacLean, Vice President, Integration and Analytics, Celero
Solutions
"The world of blockchain and its applications has been one of hype
and hubris for years. Nelson distills down the fundamental concepts
and makes blockchain easy to understand, and in doing so provides
clear lines to 'connect the dots' as to how to practically apply
decentralized ledger technologies. Use this book as your go-to for
understanding blockchain projects!"
