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.
"Work in Progress" - Updated with the latest syntax, new CPAN modules and new file formats
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.
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.
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.
A book designed to help you transition from merely knowing Python to cracking Leetcode patterns. This book explains core DSA concepts through clear, intuitive analogies and walks you through the most important Leetcode patterns. If you're aiming to ace your next coding interview, this is the book I wish I had when I started.
Running LLMs locally is easy. Running them well is an engineering problem. Practical LLM Inference gets into the details that matter, from quantization and GGUF internals to GPU offloading, benchmarking and production deployment. Learn how to size hardware, find bottlenecks and build fast, reliable inference systems without the AI hand-waving.
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.
Big O is not about seconds. It is about what happens to your work when your input gets ten times bigger, and that is the question interviewers are really asking. This book builds the notation from a list of names you can watch being searched, then hands you twenty everyday jobs in ten pairs and asks you to name the shape of each one.
Master NumPy from the ground up and learn to write fast, efficient Python for numerical computing. With clear explanations, practical examples and real-world techniques, this guide takes you from array basics to advanced workflows while helping you understand how NumPy really works.
Distributed systems can feel overwhelming until you build one yourself. This book takes you from core networking and concurrency concepts to a complete production-ready platform in Go. Every chapter adds real working code so you learn not just the theory but how reliable systems are built and run at scale.
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.
