Software Engineering

Building an impressive AI agent demo is easy. Running one in production—reliably, at scale, with governance—is where most enterprises get stuck. Agentic Orchestration shows how BPMN-based process orchestration governs AI agents at scale, drawing on real deployments across banking, telecom, and healthcare. Reasoning without orchestration is expensive chaos. This book shows the way out.

Software is more than code. It is a living system shaped by people, feedback and constant change. This book helps you think beyond features and fixes to understand why systems behave the way they do. Learn practical ideas that lead to better architecture, smarter decisions and software built to last.

Build real smart contracts with confidence from your very first line of Solidity. This hands-on guide walks you from blockchain fundamentals to advanced security, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs and production-ready development. Packed with practical examples and proven patterns, it gives you the skills to create secure Ethereum applications that are ready for the real world.

Whether you are opening Xcode for the first time or ready to ship a polished desktop app, this book guides you through every step. Learn Swift with practical projects, understand how macOS apps are built and gain the skills to create software that is ready for real users and the Mac App Store.

Master modern JavaScript and Node.js from absolute beginner to professional with 1,100+ pages of practical explanations, real-world examples, exercises, projects, and career guidance.

Build fast, reliable networked applications with Go by mastering socket programming from the ground up. Through practical examples and production-focused techniques, you will learn how to design scalable servers, implement modern network protocols, secure connections and optimize performance using idiomatic Go and the standard library.

AI made implementation cheap and shared understanding scarce. This is the book about how teams should adapt the process.

The QA field manual: the entire career arc, from your first two weeks on the job to strategic leadership, told through patterns and anti-patterns.

Move from running tests to leading quality: strategy aligned with business goals, automation ROI you can defend, and metrics that drive decisions.

Learn how to build a fast, private AI search engine that indexes and retrieves documents using modern open-source tools. From a simple prototype to a production-ready system, you will create intelligent local search that runs entirely on your own hardware.

Build games that run almost anywhere with SDL3. This book starts with the basics and steadily moves into advanced graphics, audio, input, and application design using practical, real-world examples. Every chapter includes complete code you can compile and experiment with, helping you understand not just how SDL3 works, but how to use it to build fast, portable applications with confidence.

Beyond push and pull: branching strategies, conflict resolution without fear, bisecting your way to the guilty commit, and PR reviews that matter.

From commit to confidence: pipelines where tests gate what matters, run in parallel, and tell developers the truth fast.

From your first locator to a production framework the whole team trusts — auto-waiting, fixtures, network mocking, and the end of fragile tests.

Before automation, there is thinking. Test design, exploratory testing, and bug reports that get fixed — the bedrock the rest of QA stands on.
