AI in software development is about much more than generating code.Beyond Code Generation explores how AI can support the entire software development lifecycle—from understanding requirements and designing systems to development, testing, code review, deployment, and operations.

From your first line of code to advanced JavaScript, this book builds real understanding instead of memorization. Learn how the language works, why modern features exist, and how professionals use them every day. Covering ES2026 and upcoming additions like Temporal, it gives you the skills to write clean, confident production-ready code.

Every online casino is a bank that pays out in seconds, a game studio, and a compliance department wearing the same logo. This is how you build all three, and keep them running. All six volumes in one book.

Whether you're writing your first line of code or building production-ready applications, this book gives you the skills to succeed with C#. Learn through practical examples, real projects and proven techniques used by professional developers. Build a strong foundation and grow into a confident C# programmer.

Go beyond using PDF libraries and learn how the format really works. This book walks you through building a complete PDF reader from scratch using the ISO 32000-2 specification, with clear explanations, written in C++ code and a parser that handles real-world PDF files from the ground up.

Ready to learn Java without getting lost in theory? Start with your first program, then work your way up to virtual threads, testing, observability and container deployment. With Java 26 and complete code that actually compiles, you’ll build the skills to create software fit for production.

Every news feed is full of AI buzzwords: Transformers, tokens, embeddings, context windows, hallucinations, objective functions. Yet most explanations are either dense academic textbooks or empty marketing fluff. ☕ Coffee Break AI is your practical guide to AI. Written in plain English with warm real-world analogies. It breaks down the core mechanisms of AI into 40 bite-sized chapters.

Great software is built through great reviews. This book shows you how to spot hidden bugs, improve design, strengthen security, and review AI-generated code with confidence. Packed with practical examples and proven techniques, it helps you write better software in a world where humans and AI build code together.

AI-generated code can look flawless while hiding invented APIs, security gaps and subtle logic errors. This practical guide shows you how to build production-ready analyzers that catch what tests miss, from taint tracking and symbolic execution to custom rules for CI/CD and IDEs.

Die Nutzung von KI zum Programmieren ist einfach. Sie zu nutzen, ohne die Kontrolle zu verlieren, schon weniger. Spec-Driven Development ist die Methode, um deine Idee in eine Spezifikation zu verwandeln, die die KI präzise ausführt — ohne Endlosschleifen, ohne kaputten Code, ohne wieder bei null anzufangen.

Software is more than code. It is a living system shaped by people, feedback and constant change. This book helps you think beyond features and fixes to understand why systems behave the way they do. Learn practical ideas that lead to better architecture, smarter decisions and software built to last.

Your AI has not forgotten you. It simply cannot show you what it knows, let you correct it, take it with you, or act on it. This book fixes all four: plain files you own, an assistant with hands on them, rules it will not cross, and work that lands before you wake up. No code, no terminal.

Build a strong foundation in data structures and algorithms with clear explanations and practical Python examples. From core concepts to advanced techniques, this guide helps you understand how efficient software is designed so you can write better code with confidence and solve real programming challenges.
