AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.
Most agent books teach prompts and frameworks. Agent Engineering teaches the judgment and engineering discipline required to build AI agents that are reliable, secure, testable, and ready for production. Follow a practical Claude-based project from first agent to production-grade autonomous system—and receive every future update to this early-access edition.
Here is the English translation:Learn to build discrete-event simulation models and agent-based simulation models using SimPy, a Python library.

Most asyncio tutorials introduce async and await on page one and ask you to take the runtime on faith. This book does it the other way around. You build a working event loop in thirty lines of plain Python — no asyncio import — and meet the keywords as labels for parts of a runtime you have already watched run. By the end, async Python stops being intimidating and starts being readable.
