  10. Reimagine, Don't Retrofit
    Reimagine, Don't Retrofit
    A Leadership Guide to AI-Driven Software Development
    Ricardo Gonzalez Vargas

    Teams are producing more code than ever. Dashboards are green. And something is quietly breaking. AI coding assistants didn't break your development process; they revealed it was already fragile. Reimagine, Don't Retrofit is a field-tested argument that the software development lifecycle itself needs to be reimagined for the AI era, from governance and metrics to team roles and delivery flow.

  11. Deep Learning with PyTorch Step-by-Step
    Deep Learning with PyTorch Step-by-Step
    A Beginner's Guide
    Daniel Voigt Godoy

    Revised for PyTorch 2.x! In 2019, I published a PyTorch tutorial on Towards Data Science and I was amazed by the reaction from the readers! Their feedback motivated me to write this book to help beginners start their journey into Deep Learning and PyTorch. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoy writing it.

  12. Claude Code
    Claude Code
    Una guida pratica per chi vuole iniziare ad usare Claude Code in modo professionale
    Maurizio Pelizzone

    Una guida pratica a Claude Code, scritta con Claude Code.Su Claude Code circolano due tipi di contenuti: video YouTube che si fermano ai primi dieci minuti e thread social che promettono "guide complete" in cambio di un'email. Questo libro nasce dall'esigenza opposta: avere finalmente un manuale che spieghi lo strumento per intero, senza hype e senza muri di lead generation.140 pagine costruite a partire dalla documentazione ufficiale Anthropic, verificate su Claude Code v2.1.123, con esempi reali invece che screenshot da marketing. Si parte dall'installazione su macOS, Linux e Windows, si passa per Plan Mode, CLAUDE.md, gestione del contesto, sicurezza dei permessi, Skill personalizzate, subagent custom, integrazione MCP, e si arriva al prompt engineering aggiornato al 2026 — quello vero, dopo che le formule magiche del 2023 si sono sgonfiate.Il libro è pensato per due lettori in parallelo: lo sviluppatore senior che vuole integrare Claude Code nel proprio workflow di produzione, e chi si avvicina per la prima volta agli strumenti AI agentici e ha bisogno di una mappa. I capitoli iniziali costruiscono le basi senza dare nulla per scontato; quelli avanzati entrano nei meccanismi che fanno la differenza tra un uso superficiale e uno strategico.Tre cose che troverai e che altrove fatico a trovare:Il prompt engineering riletto al 2026. Niente ruoli posticci, niente "agisci come un esperto di...". Le tre leve che contano davvero — istruzioni esplicite, contesto adeguato, esempi curati — applicate al contesto specifico della CLI.Workflow reali, non demo da slide. Esempi concreti su WordPress e Node.js presi da progetti veri, non da repository giocattolo.In apertura c'è una prefazione scritta da Claude Opus, a cui ho dato il manoscritto completo chiedendogli un commento onesto, anche dove il libro non funzionava. È rimasta lì come l'ha scritta: è il modo più trasparente che mi sia venuto in mente per inquadrare il libro.Il libro è gratis — pay-what-you-want con minimo zero. Se ti torna utile e vuoi contribuire, decidi tu quanto. Se non puoi o non vuoi, scarichi e leggi senza pensieri: la licenza Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 ti permette anche di redistribuirlo e modificarlo, basta citare la fonte e mantenere la stessa licenza.

    You have been using AI as a faster keyboard.The engineers who will define the next decade are using it as a cognitive workforce they direct, constrain, and govern. The gap between those two practices is not a matter of better prompts. It is a matter of an entirely different mental model.This book is that mental model. Built from first principles. Illustrated through 28 chapters of real architectural decisions, real failures, and real production systems.From execution to orchestration. The complete practitioner guide.
