  1. Claude Code: From Basics to Mastery
    Claude Code: From Basics to Mastery
    The Complete Guide to Agentic Software Development in 2026
    Steve Publications

    Software development is changing fast, and Claude Code is at the center of that shift. Learn how to work effectively with AI agents to write code, automate workflows, and build larger projects with confidence. From setup and prompt design to real-world engineering practices, this book provides a practical guide to modern software development in 2026.

  2. Harness Engineering
    Harness Engineering
    Building Reliable Workflows Around Non-Deterministic Agents
    Ian Johnson

    This book teaches harness engineering as a discipline. Not magic prompts. Not vendor tricks. Engineering practice applied to a new substrate.

  3. Inside llama.cpp
    Inside llama.cpp
    The Complete Guide to Building, Running, and Optimizing Local LLM Inference
    Steve Publications

    Learn how to build, run, and optimize llama.cpp from the ground up. This book covers everything from compiling the code and working with GGUF models to deploying fast, production-ready local LLM inference.

  4. Microsoft Agent Framework in .NET
    Microsoft Agent Framework in .NET
    Build production-ready AI agents and multi-agent systems in C#
    Daniel Costea

    A practical, code-first guide to building production-ready AI agents and multi-agent systems in C# with Microsoft Agent Framework, Microsoft.Extensions.AI, tools, context, orchestration, observability, workflows, and enterprise-ready patterns.

  5. Der Agent tickt anders: Was Claude Shannon Softwarearchitekten über Coding-Agenten lehrt

    Ein Coding-Agent liefert in Sekunden makellosen Code, mittendrin eine Funktion, die es nie gab: Halluzinations-Lasagne. Claude Shannons verrauschter Kanal von 1948 erklärt, warum plausible Ausgaben nicht verlässlich sind, und wie ein geschärfter Sender, ein beherrschter Kanal und ein prüfender Empfänger daraus verlässliche Software machen.

  6. The Agentic AI book
    The Agentic AI book
    From Language Models to Multi-Agent Systems
    Dr. Ryan Rad

    It's never been easier to build an AI agent — and never been harder to make one that actually works. This book takes you from language model foundations to production-ready multi-agent systems with the depth to predict failure before it happens, engineer graceful degradation over catastrophic failure, and take absolute architectural ownership.

  7. Rust for LLM Inference
    Rust for LLM Inference
    Building High-Performance LLM Inference Engine from Scratch
    Steve Publications

    Learn how modern LLM inference engines work by building one from scratch in Rust. From transformers and tokenization to KV caching, quantization, batching, and GPU optimization, this book combines theory, hands-on code, and performance engineering to help you create fast, production-ready AI systems.

  8. Building AI Agents with C# and .NET 10
    Building AI Agents with C# and .NET 10
    A Developer’s First Guide to the Microsoft Agent Framework
    Rachid DAHIR

    Your C# skills are worth more today than they were a year ago — if you know how to put a language model in the loop. This book shows you how, with the Microsoft Agent Framework: real tools, RAG, multi-agent orchestration, plus the hosting, observability, and safety that separate a demo from a system you ship. Nineteen chapters. 120 runnable projects. No Python detours. Just C# and .NET 10.

  9. Loop Engineering: The Practical Guide to Building AI Agents That Work While You Sleep.

    Stop prompting your AI. Start engineering the loop. The best engineers no longer babysit agents — they design systems that discover work, verify it, and run while they sleep. Loop Engineering is the complete guide: goals, verification, memory, scheduling, and orchestration with Claude Code — plus four end-to-end builds. Wake up to finished work, not chat transcripts.

  10. Building Pragmatic AI Agents That Use Tools and APIs
    Building Pragmatic AI Agents That Use Tools and APIs
    Building Systems That Use Tools and APIs with DSPy, Pydantic AI, Claude SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, and Google ADK
    Steve Publications

    Most AI systems can talk, but few can actually do. This book shows you how to build AI agents that reliably use tools, call APIs and automate real workflows. Using DSPy, Pydantic AI, the Claude Agent SDK, the OpenAI Agents SDK and Google ADK, you'll learn practical patterns for building reliable agents that work in production.

  11. Building AI Agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK
    Building AI Agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK
