  1. The Sovereign Engineer
    AI Literacy for Software Professionals
    Russ Miles

    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.

  2. Agent Engineering using Claude
    Engineering Reliable AI Agents with Claude
    Venkatesh Tadinada

    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.

  3. SimPy: Simulation in Python
    A pratical guide
    Afonso C. Medina

    Here is the English translation:Learn to build discrete-event simulation models and agent-based simulation models using SimPy, a Python library.

  4. Biblical Financial Principles
    A 12-Week Bible Study to Master God’s Plan for Money, Debt, and Generosity
    Marius Andronie

    Manuel Morejón

  8. PowerShell 101
    The No-Nonsense Guide to Windows PowerShell
    Mike F. Robbins

    This book starts with the basics of PowerShell and uses a step-by-step approach to build up to complex concepts. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this book will help you become more proficient with PowerShell. By the time you finish this book, your skills will be as well-integrated as the seamless components in the cover artwork.

  9. asyncio from ground up
    A working Mental Model for Python asyncio
    Ritesh Modi

    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.
