This practical guide shows you how to build production-ready speech recognition applications from the ground up. Learn how to use Voice Activity Detection, choose the right ASR models, build real-time inference pipelines, and deploy scalable systems with hands-on examples and modern open-source tools.

Every crypto channel pins the same frantic warning: the admins will never DM you first. This is the field guide to the scam economy behind that line — impersonated admins, deepfaked founders, pig-butchering, and entire synthetic communities — traced across three eras, from spam to crypto to AI, and the one question that ends it: who is in the room?

The value of a SaaS business is more than code and revenue. Domains, service accounts, social profiles, and infrastructure ownership matter too. A competitor claiming your brand on X is bad, but a malicious npm scope using your brand to ship harmful code to customers is far worse.

Software design is the last craft that never got standardized, so the same problem yields a different structure in every shop and every sprint. Process-First Design is the method for it: design around the process, not the entity, and the dozen small structural decisions you re-litigate every time become engineering, leaving your judgment for the architecture and the domain. One running example carries it from a single use case up to a multi-tenant platform.

A direct route from the basics to real-world Haskell. Master functions, types, and effects, structure real projects, and ship a working blog engine. Along the way, you learn design principles that make you a stronger engineer in any language.

In this practical and insightful guide, Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman brings the proven principles of Lean to the world of software development. Whether you’re managing large-scale enterprise applications or agile startup teams, this book will show you how to eliminate waste, optimize flow, and deliver real customer value—faster.

Deliver What Matters, When It Matters is a practical guide to delivery optimization for teams working in complex environments. Through real-world stories and actionable tools, it helps coaches, product managers, and delivery leaders close the gap between effort and impact.

Your first AI integration is usually simple: one provider, one SDK, one model. Then production happens. Costs rise. Rate limits appear. Teams need access control. Security wants API keys centralized. Product wants to test better models. Finance wants to know who is spending what. Suddenly, the real problem is not calling an LLM. The real problem is operating AI as shared infrastructure. The End of AI Vendor Lock-In shows how LiteLLM helps teams build provider-agnostic, resilient, cost-aware AI systems that can route across models, manage fallbacks, track spend, enforce budgets, and reduce dependency on any single provider. If you are building AI products that need to survive real-world production pressure, this book is for you.

Una crónica del Domain-Driven Design desde el modelo anémico de los noventa hasta la práctica contemporánea, con manual y catálogo de cuarenta fichas. Para programadores que quieren aplicar DDD con criterio, no por inercia.

The best compliment a reader can pay your code is not "this is impressive" — it is "this was exactly what I expected." Beautiful but Boring teaches the discipline of writing Python that earns that compliment: precise naming contracts, type annotations that say what a function actually requires, and a framework for maintaining those standards consistently across a codebase, a team, and a career.

Event-Driven Architecture with Spring Boot 4.x and Kafka 4.x is a hands-on, code-first guide to building resilient, scalable systems with real-world patterns like CQRS, event sourcing, sagas, outbox, idempotency, schema evolution, observability, and testing. Each chapter focuses on one concept and backs it with practical trade-offs, failure modes, and runnable Spring Boot projects you can clone and run today. If you want to move beyond buzzwords and actually ship event-driven systems that hold up in production, this book is for you.

Usar IA para programar es fácil. Usarla sin perder el control, no tanto. Spec-Driven Development es el método para convertir tu idea en una spec que la IA ejecuta con precisión — sin loops infinitos, sin código roto, sin empezar de cero.
