C and C++

Go beyond the NTFS API and learn how the filesystem really works. This book explains NTFS from its on-disk structures to a complete working implementation, giving you the knowledge to understand and build one of the world's most sophisticated filesystems.

Discover how Windows really works beneath the desktop. From boot to shutdown, this book provides a practical, in-depth exploration of the Windows NT kernel, covering architecture, memory management, security, virtualization, debugging, and more for developers, security professionals, and advanced students.

Build a working SQL database engine in C++20 -- from raw pages to a realquery executor -- one compilable, measured challenge at a time. Everyperformance claim is a benchmark you run yourself; every unit ends with areal bug, caught red-handed and fixed. Nothing asserted. Everythingdemonstrated.

Master Linux C programming with a practical guide that takes you from core C fundamentals to advanced systems programming. Learn through real, compilable examples covering system calls, threads, networking, and modern Linux APIs to build robust, high-performance software.

Go beyond the surface of Windows development and explore the platform from the inside out. Covering everything from kernel internals and Win32 APIs to the Windows App SDK, cloud integration, virtualization, and AI, this comprehensive reference equips experienced developers with the knowledge to build high-performance, secure, and modern Windows applications with confidence.

Master STM32 development from bare-metal programming to production-ready firmware. With clear explanations and practical C examples, this guide helps you build the skills to design efficient, reliable embedded systems using ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers.

Unlock the full power of modern GPU programming with Mastering the Vulkan API. This practical guide helps intermediate C++ developers build high-performance graphics and compute applications through clear explanations, hands-on examples, and production-inspired best practices.

Mastering Modern C++23 is a practical guide to the latest C++ standard, helping intermediate and advanced developers confidently adopt its most important language and library features. With clear explanations, production-ready examples, and real-world best practices, you'll write safer, more expressive, and high-performance C++ code.

Learn CUDA programming from the ground up by understanding how GPUs really execute code. This book shows you how to write efficient kernels, optimize performance, and build high-performance applications for AI, scientific computing, image processing, and other demanding workloads on modern NVIDIA GPUs, including Blackwell.

A working x86-64 kernel in 90 pages — bootloader, scheduler, FAT12 driver, window manager — all the way to a real PC.

Ten C++ investigations into programs that compiled clean, ran perfectly, and still got the answer wrong. A forensic journey through the bugs that hide in plain sight.

Go beyond Kotlin and unlock the full power of Android native development with practical NDK projects in security, audio, video, computer vision, and on-device AI.

This book is basically a record of my serious learning journey with Zig. The application at its heart, Zigkit, started as a single print statement and ended as twenty-five cooperating modules handling everything from arithmetic to HTTP. It's small enough to understand completely and complete enough to demonstrate every major systems programming concern. Each section of the book adds one module, introduces one concept, and produces one working program.

O abordare vizuală și practică a programării C/C++, bazată pe ani de experiență în predare. Cartea combină teoria, exemplele și schițele inspirate din caietele reale ale cursanților pentru a facilita înțelegerea conceptelor complexe.

Why learn one programming language when you can understand three at once? This book introduces the foundations of programming through a powerful side-by-side comparison of Python, Java, and C#, enabling readers to build strong conceptual understanding, transferable coding skills, and a solid pathway toward modern software engineering.
