Agentic Engineering

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Build AI agents that reason when necessary, preserve what they learn, and stop paying the intelligence premium for work they already know how to perform. Smart AI Agents combines architecture, working implementations, public source code, and measured experiments to show how agents can learn once and execute many.

Go beyond the basics of Claude Code with a practical engineering reference built for real-world development. Explore architecture, workflows, security, team adoption and advanced agentic patterns, with concrete commands and working examples throughout. Learn how to use Claude Code effectively, reliably and safely in professional software projects.

This third edition covers Rust 1.85 and the Rust 2024 Edition in full. The new chapters on concurrency, the 2024 edition migration, GPU computing, Go integration, and Linux kernel programming show where the Rust community has moved since the second edition, and where systems programming as a discipline is heading. You might be writing your first Rust function or your hundredth production service, but I hope this book makes the language feel less like a puzzle and more like a tool you are already familiar with. That was the only goal I had when I wrote it.

Scrum made human teams 10× faster. Now it's doing the same for AI agents. Here's the architecture.

An LLM is not an AI system.Systems Thinking for Agentic AI shows software engineers and architects how to design reliable AI applications with prompts, RAG, tools, memory, orchestration, guardrails, evaluation, observability, and runtime control.Move beyond chatbot demos and learn how to build production-ready agentic AI systems you can reason about, measure, debug, operate, and improve

AI can write code fast, but getting reliable software still starts with clear thinking. This book shows how to turn ideas into precise specifications, then use AI assistants and autonomous agents to build, test and maintain real-world software. Follow a complete project from business problem to production and learn a practical approach to AI-assisted development.

Run Jev-style decision models on your own hardware with Ollaya. Learn how these fast, structured models differ from LLMs, then build real applications with typed outputs, Python, JavaScript and MCP. From first setup to production, this practical guide shows you how to make AI faster, cheaper and more private.

AI coding agents can move fast, but speed without clear intent creates expensive mistakes. This practical guide shows how Behavior-Driven Development turns specifications into a reliable contract between you and autonomous coding systems, helping agents build the right thing, catch problems earlier and produce software you can trust.

Skip the trial and error. 53 agent skills picked and run in Claude Code and Codex, each with who it fits, install commands, and a first run.
