You may have seen Cyrus Broacha getting confused about the taste of Britania 50-50 Pepper Chakkar and asking “What it is?”. Now if you have that question for a technology, ask it to O’Reilly. The O’Reilly WhatIs is a set of articles that explains technology terms in simple language. The articles are not too techy, but good enough for a beginner.
Don’t get disappointed by the $7.95 in the image. Most of the articles in WhatIs are free!
