  2. The Software Realm DECODED
    The Software Realm DECODED
    Everything Senior developers expect you to know, but rarely have time to explain
    A. M. Lorion

    You know how to code, but everyone else seems to "just get it" while you secretly Google and ChatGPT everything. The Software Realm DECODED is the patient mentor conversation you've been searching for, Peter asks the questions you're afraid to ask, and the Ultra Senior Developer explains what bootcamps skip and seniors assume you know. By the final chapter, the imposter syndrome disappears and systems finally make sense.

    Essays on Software Design
    Rebecca Wirfs-Brock and Mathias Verraes

    “Happily purchased. Handy to have these in one place. Thank you!” — Kent Beck “Excellent new thinking on Domain-Driven Design. It's full of real practical experience in getting the most value from domain modelling. Just like the Eric Evans' DDD book, this gives more insight each time you read it.” — Ian Russell

  4. Ready on Day One: The Java Backend Engineer’s Field Manual

    You know Java. The hard part is the @Transactional method that quietly opens no transaction, the list endpoint that issues a thousand queries, and the service field two threads corrupt under load — failures that produce no compiler error, no stack trace, and no failing test. This is a field manual about those failures and the skills that surround them: reading a codebase you did not write, changing it safely, and diagnosing it when it breaks.

  7. Python by Design
    Python by Design
    Ready, Set, Code
    Total Pythoneereing

    Because artificial intelligence generates code in seconds today software engineering matters more than ever. Successful software developers must document system structure, data flow, security boundaries to manage long-term maintainability. Without a clear, thoughtful design framework, AI simply helps teams build a faster, more complex maze of technical debt.

  15. AI API Security Scanner: Build It From Scratch

    Every web application has security headers, cookies, TLS configurations, and CORS policies that need to be correct. Most teams find out they're wrong only after a penetration test — or worse, after an incident. This book shows you how to build a scanner that catches these issues automatically. You'll create a Python CLI tool that uses Hurl (declarative HTTP testing) to assert security properties, SSLyze to validate TLS protocol versions, and AI to generate specific remediation for every failure it finds. The output: structured JSON reports, visual HTML dashboards, and AI-generated security posture assessments. **What you'll build:** - 9 declarative Hurl security test files (headers, cookies, CORS, HSTS, CSP, CSRF, redirects, TLS) - A preprocessor that handles domain substitution and authentication - An output parser with built-in remediation guidance for every test - A TLS scanner validating SSL 2.0/3.0 disabled and TLS 1.2/1.3 enabled - An AI analyzer that generates context-specific fixes using Ollama, OpenAI, or Bedrock - An HTML reporter with dark-themed visual dashboards - Docker multi-architecture deployment - CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions **Who this is for:** - Developers who want security checks before deploying - DevSecOps engineers building CI/CD security gates - Penetration testers who need quick baseline assessments - Security students learning web vulnerability concepts hands-on - Platform teams enforcing security standards across services Every failure includes: what was expected, what was received, why it matters, how to fix it, and a documentation link. AI adds domain-specific code examples on top.
