TinyTechGuides are designed for practitioners, business leaders, and executives who never seem to have enough time to learn about the latest technology and marketing trends. These guides are meant to be read in an hour or two and focus on the application of technologies in a business, government, or educational setting.

After reading these guides, we hope that you’ll have a better understanding of how technologies and business practices are applied in the real world—as well as a better idea of how to apply these best practices in your business or organization.

Wherever possible, we try to share practical advice and lessons learned over our careers so you can take this learning and transform it into action.

Remember, it’s not the tech that’s tiny, just the book!™
