STOP building fragile AI wrappers. START designing resilient AI systems. Lots of companies are trying to make their small AI experiments into big products, but they don't have a good plan. Engineers need a practical guide to build these new AI systems the right way - so they can handle scale, be reliable, and won't cost too much. This book is that guide. It explains how to design systems that use AI models. This book breaks down the architecture of real AI applications, like an AI-powered code editor or a smart learning app. It gives you a deep, practical look at the real-world challenges and solutions for building these systems. It discusses system design concepts for systems that use LLMs.

Master Android 17 with a practical guide that takes you from Kotlin and Jetpack Compose fundamentals to building and publishing production-ready apps. Packed with clear explanations, real-world code examples, and modern best practices, this book helps you create high-quality Android applications with confidence.

AI can speed up learning and coding — but only if you stay in control. This book shows new developers how to use GPT-6, Claude, and Cursor effectively: how to ask clear questions, supply useful context, review generated code, test edge cases, and avoid common mistakes such as invented APIs, insecure suggestions, and overconfident explanations. You will build practical habits for explanations, small features, tests, debugging, and documentation — while protecting private data and remaining responsible for the final result. Ideal for students, self-learners, and early-career developers who want to learn with AI, not instead of learning.
