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. 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.

  3. Build Your Own Coding Agent
    Build Your Own Coding Agent
    The Zero-Magic Guide to AI Agents in Pure Python

    Build, Evaluate, Secure, and Operate Production AI Agents with Claude Code, MCP, Hooks, and the Claude Agent SDK
    Thomas De Vos

    A best-selling book. The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production. Thirty-one chapters covering the agent loop, tools, hooks, MCP, the Claude Agent SDK, permissions, multi-agent orchestration, evals, observability, and cost engineering. Includes a full walkthrough of Anthropic's financial services reference agents. Code from real production systems, not toy examples.

  5. Switching to Linux
    Switching to Linux
    A Practical Guide for Windows and Mac Users
    Jay LaCroix

    Linux is one of the best decisions you can make for your computer — but knowing where to start is the hard part. This guide walks you through everything: choosing a distribution, installing it, and using it confidently every day. It was written by Jay LaCroix of Learn Linux TV, for complete beginners. No prior experience required.

  6. Securing Enterprise AI Agents

  9. Organisational Dysfunctions
    Organisational Dysfunctions
    Open Systems Theory Explains
    Trond Hjorteland

    Most organisations are trying to fix the wrong things. This book names the dysfunctions they keep running into and explains, through Open Systems Theory, why they keep coming back.

  10. Agentic Programming
    Agentic Programming
    From Prompts to Production: A Path to Al Fluency
    Jerod W. Wilkerson

    The most important impact of AI on software development isn't that it writes code faster — it's that it changes what you can delegate. Agentic Programming is a practical roadmap for climbing the AI Fluency Ladder: from prompting to agentic workflows, verified execution, and ultimately autonomous software development.

  15. 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.
