Why I Created the Digital Foundations Series

Over the years, I’ve seen how rapidly evolving technologies can feel overwhelming, whether you’re a business leader trying to make informed decisions or a student just beginning to explore the tech world. That’s why I created the Digital Foundations Series: to provide clear, concise, and actionable introductions to the technologies that are shaping our future.

Each book in this series is designed to help you quickly grasp what the technology is, why it matters, and how you can use it—even if you don’t have a technical background. My goal is to empower you with enough knowledge to confidently engage in discussions, ask the right questions, and pursue deeper learning on your own.

What You Can Expect.

Every book in the Digital Foundations Series is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of a technology or topic. While the exact number of chapters may vary, you can expect coverage of key areas like:

• Foundational Definitions and Terms – A breakdown of the core concepts and jargon. • Key Players and Tools – Insights into the leading companies, platforms, or technologies. • Real-World Applications and Case Studies – To show how these technologies are being applied in business, education, and beyond • Actionable Takeaways – Simple steps, questions to ask, or strategies you can use to get started. • Security, Compliance, or Ethics – Issues that should always be part of the conversation. • Future Trends – A look ahead at where this technology is headed. • Common Misconceptions, FAQs, – Addressing confusion and answering key questions. • Helpful Glossaries – To demystify jargon and make even the most complex concepts approachable. • Next Steps and Resources – Suggestions for tools, readings, or communities to continue learning.

You don’t need to read the chapters in order—each one stands alone. Whether you skim a single chapter or explore the entire book, my aim is to give you practical knowledge you can use right away.

Who This Book Is For

This book—and the entire series—is for anyone who wants to better understand the digital world we live in. Whether you’re a business professional looking to make informed decisions, a student building your technical foundation, or someone who’s simply curious about technology, this guide is for you. I’ve spent more than two decades in technical leadership roles, helping organizations solve problems with software and technology. I’ve worked on projects ranging from platform modernization and international banking applications to tools for small retailers and Fortune 500 companies. Alongside this, I’ve served as an adjunct faculty member, teaching computer science to students from diverse backgrounds. It’s through these experiences that I’ve seen the power of knowledge to break down barriers and open doors—for individuals, teams, and organizations alike.
