  1. Spring Boot Microservices in Production
    Spring Boot Microservices in Production
    A comprehensive guide to building, deploying, and scaling resilient distributed systems with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
    Enrique Medina Montenegro

    Build bulletproof Spring Boot microservices—from monolith migration to domain-driven design and event-driven patterns—while mastering the production essentials of resilience, observability, and zero‑downtime delivery. Turn complex domains into clean, scalable services with bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories, and domain events, then ship faster with rate‑limited APIs, backoff‑retries, and Kubernetes rollouts. If leading Java teams to reliable, cloud‑ready microservices is the goal, this is the hands‑on guide that gets systems into production with confidence.

  2. How to Understand Almost Anything
    How to Understand Almost Anything
    A Practitioner's (updated) Guide to Domain Analysis
    Markus Voelter

    You want to analyse, understand and capture the subject matter of a domain, typically because you want to build a software system in that domain? You're looking for abstractions to describe and ultimately execute said subject matter? Then this book is for you: it's chock-full of experience and practices for tackling this challenge.

    Top 3 reasons why a software engineer might be interested to work at capital markets firms1) work with top Hedge Funds, Investment Banks, HFT firms, Algorithmic Trading firms, Exchanges, etc.2) implement smart algorithms and build low-latency, high-performance and mission-critical software with talented engineers3) earn top compensation

  4. Design and Reality
    Design and Reality
    Essays on Software Design
    Rebecca Wirfs-Brock and Mathias Verraes

    “Happily purchased. Handy to have these in one place. Thank you!” — Kent Beck “Excellent new thinking on Domain-Driven Design. It's full of real practical experience in getting the most value from domain modelling. Just like the Eric Evans' DDD book, this gives more insight each time you read it.” — Ian Russell

  5. Applied Artificial Intelligence
    Applied Artificial Intelligence
    An Engineering Approach
    Bernhard G. Humm

    Modern AI applications are not built from scratch but, instead, by integrating off-the-shelf components: libraries, frameworks, and services. "Applied Artificial Intelligence - An Engingeering Approach" focuses on engineering user friendly, high-performance, and maintainable AI applications.

  6. Spring, RabbitMQ, and Modern Java Platform Engineering
    Spring, RabbitMQ, and Modern Java Platform Engineering
    Designing, Building, and Operating Reliable Distributed Systems
    Steve Publications

    Build reliable distributed systems with Spring Boot, RabbitMQ and modern Java. Follow OrderFlow as it grows from a simple service into a production-ready event-driven platform, exploring architecture, messaging, observability, containers and the practical trade-offs behind every design decision.

  7. The C++ STL Handbook
    The C++ STL Handbook
    Containers, Algorithms, Iterators, Ranges, and Beyond
    Steve Publications

    Go beyond C++ syntax and learn to use the STL with confidence. Explore containers, algorithms, iterators, ranges and more through practical examples, performance insights and real-world patterns. Build a deeper understanding of how the STL works, when to use each tool and how to write cleaner, faster and more maintainable C++.

  8. Engineering Secure Sandboxes for AI Coding Agents
    Engineering Secure Sandboxes for AI Coding Agents
    A Technical Guide to Containment, Isolation, and Safe Execution for Autonomous Code-Generating Systems
    Steve Publications

    AI coding agents can build, run and break things at machine speed. This book shows you how to contain them safely. From Linux isolation and microVMs to WebAssembly, threat modeling and incident response, you’ll learn how to design production-grade sandboxes that let autonomous agents execute code without putting your systems at risk.

  9. The Distributed Systems Handbook
    The Distributed Systems Handbook
    Design, Implement, and Operate Production-Grade Systems Using Modern Engineering Practices
    Steve Publications

    Distributed systems can feel overwhelming until you build one yourself. This book takes you from core networking and concurrency concepts to a complete production-ready platform in Go. Every chapter adds real working code so you learn not just the theory but how reliable systems are built and run at scale.

  10. The Complete Python Developer
    The Complete Python Developer
    From First Steps to Professional Development
    Steve Publications

    Whether you're writing your first line of code or building professional applications, this book takes you from the fundamentals to real world Python development. Learn the skills, tools and best practices used by experienced developers to write clean, reliable and scalable code with confidence.

  11. AEO in Practice
    AEO in Practice
    Get the Sites You Build Cited by AI
    Leandro Salerno

    Make ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI cite the sites you build. A code-first AEO/GEO guide for developers and agencies — with a production-tested Next.js boilerplate.

  13. Use Cases schreiben für KI
    Use Cases schreiben für KI
    Wie man Use Cases für Stakeholder, Entwicklungsteams und KI-Agenten schreibt
    Simon Martinelli

    Ihre Use Cases haben einen neuen Leser: einen KI-Agenten, der sie direkt in Code und Tests umwandelt. Die Implementierung ist mittlerweile kostengünstig, doch die präzise Formulierung der Absicht stellt den Engpass dar. Dieser Leitfaden vermittelt Ihnen, wie Sie Use Cases verfassen, die sowohl für Stakeholder und Ingenieure als auch für die KI-Agenten, die sie umsetzen, funktionieren.

  14. Embeddings and Vector Search
    Embeddings and Vector Search
    Every index built from scratch. Every recall figure checked against exact ground truth.
    Hatem M.

    Vector databases give you a similarity metric, an index with four tuning parameters, acompression option and a way to filter — and almost no guidance on what any of it costs. This book builds each one from scratch and measures it. The proximity graph, the invertedfile, the product quantiser: implemented in NumPy, included with the text, and checkedagainst exhaustive search — so every recall figure here is exact rather than estimated.

  15. Software Engineering: A Modern Approach

    This textbook is designed for use in introductory Software Engineering courses. Additionally, it can be used by junior developers intending to consolidate their knowledge in the field. It has also a web version available at https://softengbook.org.
