Software Engineering

  1. Logic for Programmers

    Not just for mathematicians and detectives! Learn the basics of logic and its many applications, including advanced testing, constraint solving, function composition, and code proofs. Over 50 exercises and 20 sample programs are included. No prior math background required!

  2. Residues: Time, Change, and Uncertainty in Software Architecture.

    Residuality Theory is a new way to think about the design of software systems that explains why we experience design the way we do, why certain things seem to work only sporadically, and why certain architects get it right so often regardless of which tools they use. A new, scientific approach is defined that fuses Software Engineering, Complexity Science, and Philosophy to produce an entirely new way to think about how to design software. The result is a theoretical base that allows architecture to finally become its own discipline.

  3. The Agentic Engineer
    The Agentic Engineer
    Durable Principles for Building Production Systems with LLMs in the Loop
    Victor Velazquez

    A leader at a company opens Slack one morning. The brief their virtual employee wrote looks normal: same headers, same prose voice, same cadence as every other brief that week. The last line ends mid-sentence. The API returned `stop_reason: "max_tokens"`. The system shipped it anyway. No exception. No log line. No retry. That bug doesn't look like the normal kind. This book is about why, and what to build instead.

  4. The C++ Interview Book
    The C++ Interview Book
    173 questions, from foundations to C++26
    Sandor Dargo

    173 C++ interview questions. Junior to Senior. auto to C++26. Every question has follow-ups, code samples, and cross-references. A 100-day study plan with spaced repetition gets you through them all. A code-reading capstone sharpens your skills under pressure. Not just the answers — the reasoning that survives the follow-up questions.

  5. Jetpack Compose Mechanisms
    Jetpack Compose Mechanisms
    A dissection of what runs beneath every @Composable
    Jaewoong

    This book takes you straight into the Compose compiler, runtime, and UI layer, all about Compose performance tuning, reading the source line by line and explaining the why behind every design decision, then connecting each internal mechanism back to the code you write every day. The Course: Jetpack Compose Mechanisms | Hardcover | ISBN-13: 9798185354780

  6. Production-Grade Python, LangChain & LangGraph
    Production-Grade Python, LangChain & LangGraph
    A deployment-first handbook for developers who know Python syntax but have not shipped Python
    Fiodar Sazanavets

    AI engineering is becoming one of the most valuable and in-demand areas of software development, and Python, LangChain, and LangGraph are core skills for building the systems behind it. Learn how to turn basic Python knowledge into production-grade backend and agentic AI applications—and move toward an engineering niche centered on building and controlling AI rather than competing with it.

  7. Why We Still Suck At Resilience
    Why We Still Suck At Resilience
    Organizational Dynamics
    Adrian Hornsby

    Your organization does all the right things. They practice chaos engineering, GameDays, and load testing. They conduct incident reviews and operational readiness reviews. Yet the same types of incidents keep recurring. This book examines why resilience practices so often fail to build resilience, revealing the organizational dynamics that systematically transform learning mechanisms into compliance theater and what you can do to navigate them consciously.
