One strategic decision every self-published author has to make is: Should I publish my books on one platform, or on many?
This book is the Windows edition of Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms. The first book was for 16-bit DOS programming using Assembly. The second book was for 32-bit Linux programming using the same assembly language for Intel machines. But this book is very different than those because it i...

The big news is right there in the title: Leanpub now supports audiobooks.
When code gets cheap, understanding becomes expensive. AI can turn a description into working software in minutes. That does not make the surrounding engineering problems disappear. It moves them. When generation stops being the bottleneck, the scarce work is everything that was always ...
This week the main thing we’re highlighting is our upcoming Book Workshop this week, on Thursday, September 24, 2026:
If you could choose any moment in history to be born, and you did not know ahead of time who you would be — what nationality, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or economic class — when would you choose? Barack Obama posed this question in 2016, and it motivates this book. Alle...
