Data Structures

I wrote this book to show exactly what happens when you add Rust to the kernel. Not as a toy. Not as a single driver in a conference demo. It's a full module that covers process management, memory allocation, file systems, networking, device drivers, inter-process communication, and even machine learning inference. It's all built on safe abstractions, all compiled into one loadable binary, all tested on a running kernel. You'll find that each chapter adds new source files to the same module.

A concise, illustrated guide to algorithms and data structures, perfect for coding interviews, classes, or self-study. Covers key concepts, from fundamentals to graphs, trees, sorting, and search techniques.

The chapter that grew into its own book: existential and universal restrictions, the correct VegetarianPizza pattern, and how OWL restrictions become EKA governance.

What really happens between typing a SQL query and getting a result? Build a database engine from the ground up in Rust and find out. You’ll work through storage, indexing, concurrency, recovery and query processing while turning each chapter’s code into one working system.

Start with no experience and build the skills to write modern C++ with confidence. From your first program to advanced C++26 features and professional software design, this guide explains every step with clear examples and practical insights. Learn it once, keep it as a reference for years.

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.

The Python interview guide written from the interviewer's side of the table. 35 chapters. Every benchmark measured. Every line of code verified. What senior engineers actually get asked — and what separates the ones who get the offer.

What really happens inside a database file? Learn to read binary data like a map, uncover hidden structures and turn raw bytes into a working understanding of how storage engines work. With hands-on examples from SQLite, PostgreSQL, InnoDB and more, this book shows you how to reverse engineer unfamiliar formats from the ground up.

My goal is to equip other programmers with the confidence to confidently incorporate machine learning into their C++ projects by guiding them through real-world examples and addressing common challenges head-on.

Build collaborative software that keeps working when the network does not. This practical guide takes you from distributed systems fundamentals to working CRDT implementations and production-ready collaboration. Learn how CRDTs work, where they fit and how to handle scaling, security, metadata growth and failure in real systems.

What really makes a compression system fast, efficient and effective? Using bzip3 as a practical case study, this book breaks down the building blocks behind modern compression, from data transforms and match finding to entropy coding and parallel processing. Learn how to design, implement and tune compression systems for real-world performance.

Go beyond C++ syntax and learn to use the STL with confidence. Explore containers, algorithms, iterators, ranges and more through practical examples, performance insights and real-world patterns. Build a deeper understanding of how the STL works, when to use each tool and how to write cleaner, faster and more maintainable C++.

Formal verification does not have to live in research papers. This practical guide shows working software engineers how to turn real requirements into precise, machine-checkable guarantees, find bugs before they reach production and bring formal methods into everyday development, from application code to distributed and security-critical systems.

Advanced Rust Programming goes beneath Rust’s safe surface to reveal the machinery that makes high-performance systems possible. Explore unsafe contracts, atomics, async internals, FFI, allocators and more through practical examples that sharpen your instincts and help you build faster, safer production-grade software.

Discover what makes Racket more than just another programming language. Mastering Racket takes you from the fundamentals to macros, concurrency, web development and custom language design through practical, runnable examples. Learn to think in Racket and unlock the ideas that make it such a powerful tool for building software.
