Rating: 4 out of 5

This, although a bit dated, is a really good primer into the terminology, challenges and excitement of “big data”. It’s available as a free PDF download. There are a lot of adverts in amongst the text, and they’re all for a conference that has already been and gone. Whilst annoying, it was a free download, so I don’t feel I can really complain. I now subscribe to a filtered O’Reilly Radar feed looking for big data related articles to continue my learning
