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. 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

  4. Claude Code for Legacy Modernization
    Claude Code for Legacy Modernization
    Recover Hidden Business Rules, Build a Verification Harness, and Modernize Critical Systems Without Breaking Production
    Thomas De Vos

    Legacy modernization is an evidence problem before it is a code-generation problem. Use Claude Code to recover hidden behavior, build a verification harness, and move critical systems in controlled, reversible slices without handing production decisions to AI. Includes 26 practical chapters, 86 diagrams, and a runnable companion lab.

  5. Writing Use Cases for AI
    Writing Use Cases for AI
    How to write use cases for stakeholders, engineers, and AI agents
    Simon Martinelli

    Your use cases have a new reader: an AI agent that turns them directly into code and tests. Implementation is now cheap but expressing intent precisely is the bottleneck. This guide teaches you to write use cases that work for stakeholders, engineers, and the AI agents that implement from them.

  6. The Sovereign Engineer
    The Sovereign Engineer
    AI Literacy for Software Professionals
    Russ Miles

    AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

  7. 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.
