Artificial Intelligence

A clear, illustrated guide to large language models, covering key concepts and practical applications. Ideal for projects, interviews, or personal learning.

Skip the black-box frameworks. Build a production-grade AI coding agent from scratch in pure Python - cloud or local, tested with pytest, all in a single file.

A best-selling book. The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production. Thirty-one chapters covering the agent loop, tools, hooks, MCP, the Claude Agent SDK, permissions, multi-agent orchestration, evals, observability, and cost engineering. Includes a full walkthrough of Anthropic's financial services reference agents. Code from real production systems, not toy examples.

Bestselling book on building LLMs. A practical, project-driven manual for engineers who want to understand how modern language models are built — and where they fail — by writing every layer themselves. From a scalar autograd engine to RLHF to fused specialists, in 36 hands-on projects with deliberate sabotage experiments. Build it. Break it. Measure it.

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.

How to put AI agents in production without ending up in the news. A field guide to bounded AI autonomy, MCP security, and AgentSecOps.

The fastest practical path to understanding harness-driven development as a complete system. Through clear visual diagrams and a real repository mapped to the book, you will see how a harness guides AI agents, evaluates their work, detects drift, enforces constraints, supports repair, and keeps software evolution visible, verifiable, and under control.

The loop writes code and clears context. The commit log records MAX_RETRIES = 3, but the reason it's three vanished on Friday night. The artifact survived; the decision evaporated.The Loop That Remembers inverts the premise: memory isn't the sixth piece, it's what the loop exists to produce. Two graphs, a promoted lattice, bounded context, and an evaluator checking claims against edges.

Build a complete LLM inference engine in C++ — from a blank project to a working Transformer that loads a real model and generates text. Forged one challenge at a time, with tests that prove every piece works before you move on.

Your company's answers are already written down. This book builds the machine that finds them.

Everything you really need to know in Machine Learning in a hundred pages.

The most important impact of AI on software development isn't that it writes code faster — it's that it changes what you can delegate. Agentic Programming is a practical roadmap for climbing the AI Fluency Ladder: from prompting to agentic workflows, verified execution, and ultimately autonomous software development.

The CCAR-P exam tests judgment, not trivia. This scenario-based guide covers all seven domains, from solution design and RAG to governance and stakeholder communication, with 65 sketchnote figures, chapter quizzes, a distractor appendix that explains every wrong answer, and a full 63-question practice exam at the official weighting.

A scenario-based study guide for the Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCAR-F) exam. Learn to reason like an architect across all five domains, then prove it on two full practice exams.

With the advent of LLMs and AI coding assistants, we are generating code at an ever-accelerating rate. How do we manage this influx of code without getting fatigued and overwhelmed? How do we ensure coding standards are maintained? What practices and tools can we put in place to amplify our efforts while not introducing more bugs?
