I wrote this book to show exactly what happens when you add Rust to the kernel. Not as a toy. Not as a single driver in a conference demo. It's a full module that covers process management, memory allocation, file systems, networking, device drivers, inter-process communication, and even machine learning inference. It's all built on safe abstractions, all compiled into one loadable binary, all tested on a running kernel. You'll find that each chapter adds new source files to the same module.
A concise, illustrated guide to algorithms and data structures, perfect for coding interviews, classes, or self-study. Covers key concepts, from fundamentals to graphs, trees, sorting, and search techniques.
Build a complete LLM inference engine in C++ — from a blankproject to a working Transformer that loads a real model andgenerates text. Forged one challenge at a time, with teststhat prove every piece works before you move on.
Concurrency is where small mistakes become serious problems. This practical guide takes you from hardware and memory models to locks, atomics and lock-free algorithms, with a focus on building fast, reliable systems that hold up under real production workloads.
We'll be writing kernels in Rust and seeing how they match up with their C++ equivalents. If you feed a GPU properly, you'll see bandwidth quadruple from just one changed subscript. It'll get you working with thousands of threads, pricing a financial option based on an exact formula, and shipping an inference pipeline that outruns its Python equivalent for reasons you can name.
Discover the power of thinking in logic. This hands-on guide takes you from your first Prolog query to advanced techniques in constraints, grammars, AI search, meta-programming and production development. With clear explanations and executable SWI-Prolog examples, you’ll learn not just how Prolog works, but how to use it well.
What really happens between typing a SQL query and getting a result? Build a database engine from the ground up in Rust and find out. You’ll work through storage, indexing, concurrency, recovery and query processing while turning each chapter’s code into one working system.
The Python interview guide written from the interviewer's side of the table. 35 chapters. Every benchmark measured. Every line of code verified. What senior engineers actually get asked — and what separates the ones who get the offer.
Programming languages are entering a new era. This book explores Vale, Valen, Bend and Revo, showing how they approach memory safety, concurrency, type systems and verification. With runnable examples and clear technical analysis, it offers experienced programmers a grounded look at where systems programming may be headed.
Scraping is getting harder to control as bots become more sophisticated. This practical guide shows security engineers, SREs and platform architects how to build anti-scraping defenses that work at scale, from traffic analysis and behavioral detection to rate limiting, challenges, observability and continuous adaptation.
In this book, you'll see that the book is designed with one main idea. It aims to give you the skills, confidence and understanding you need to build and deliver real Backend systems. Each chapter is designed to teach you everything you need to know to get hands-on with writing, configuring, deploying and troubleshooting your own projects. Right at the start, we got stuck into designing APIs and building backend systems. We didn't just stick to the basics, though. We went beyond that pretty quickly and started using modern protocols like gRPC and the key contract-first methods that are now the norm for scalable backend systems.
Programming in the modern era requires power and efficiency, and C++23 signifies the beginning of that era. This book captures that demand. To take your C++ skills to the next level, This book is about creating and breaking down real-world examples. You'll discover techniques that you can immediately apply to your own work.
The Local AI Stack: Building a Sovereign Machine Learning Workstation with Hyper-V, WSL2, and GPU Virtualization Renting GPU time from AWS costs more than the GPU. Every prompt you send to a cloud API is a prompt someone else logs. If your ML work runs on hardware you don't own, on a network you don't control, then you don't own your ML work.
Modern C++ Memory Safety shows you how to make existing C++ systems safer without starting over. Learn practical ways to find and fix memory safety issues using modern C++, compiler tools, sanitizers, static analysis and fuzzing, with techniques you can apply directly to real production code.
Build collaborative software that keeps working when the network does not. This practical guide takes you from distributed systems fundamentals to working CRDT implementations and production-ready collaboration. Learn how CRDTs work, where they fit and how to handle scaling, security, metadata growth and failure in real systems.
