The first-ever book aimed at introducing operating system development to absolute beginners. The topics begin with programming in C and programming in assembly, and progress toward practical OS development.The book uses only simple methods, so it covers only a few essential topics in C and assembly programming, making it suitable for beginners.

Stop writing scripts that break when you switch systems. Master POSIX shell scripting and write automation that works everywhere—Linux, macOS, BSD, and beyond.Starting from absolute zero, this practical guide turns complete beginners into confident shell programmers. You’ll start by opening your first terminal window and quickly move to automating real tasks. Learn to process text files, manage system resources, and create professional-grade scripts that run reliably on any Unix-like system.Instead of platform-specific tricks, you’ll focus on portable POSIX-compliant scripting—the universal language of Unix. Through hands-on projects like backup tools, monitoring dashboards, and deployment helpers, you’ll gain skills you can apply immediately.Whether you’re a system administrator, a developer moving into DevOps, or a curious beginner, this book gives you a solid, long-lasting foundation.

AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

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.
