Software Engineering

Are you a new tech lead who wants to know what the expectations are? An experienced tech lead who needs to be more impactful? In this short book, the founder of the Tech Lead Coaching Network and experienced software manager and leader will explain the role and five core capabilities you need to be confident and impactful in the role.

You have been using AI as a faster keyboard.The engineers who will define the next decade are using it as a cognitive workforce they direct, constrain, and govern. The gap between those two practices is not a matter of better prompts. It is a matter of an entirely different mental model.This book is that mental model. Built from first principles. Illustrated through 28 chapters of real architectural decisions, real failures, and real production systems.From execution to orchestration. The complete practitioner guide.

To write better code and build better products, we must understand why engineering and design often fail. Why is it so difficult to write bug-free code? Why do people fail to use products? And why do engineering projects so often go sideways? The answer to these questions lies in the shortcomings of human cognition and the nature of complexity.

You don't need another "intro to LLMs" tutorial. You need patterns—proven architectural blueprints that tell you exactly when to use RAG vs. fine-tuning, how to build agents that don't spiral, and why your retrieval pipeline returns garbage. This book gives you 29 of them, with architecture diagrams and working Python code. Free. No fluff. No vendor lock-in.

Discover how Java developers can contribute to a sustainable future. Written by Java Champions and community experts, this collaborative guide explores practical approaches to sustainable software engineering, from resource-efficient design to mindful architecture, empowering you to reduce your environmental impact while building better systems.

Aprenda as técnicas e práticas especiais que um programador profissional sabe e usa para escrever e manter códigos de alta qualidade. Este livro junta experiência em desenvolvimento de software com a didática necessária para o ensino do ofício de programar para viver :)

A practical front-end debugging guide to the tools and techniques required to debug, optimize and monitor your web applications. This handbook helps you gain the fundamental and deep knowledge of a comprehensive toolset, from Chrome DevTools and framework extensions to integrated IDE debuggers.

Compilation of best practices for evaluating weak spots in your product and company and fostering a robust security culture within your organization.

This book will empower computer science and programming students to learn the language basics of Java; so that, they could build software, web, and mobile applications. This book has adopted a "problems-solutions-explanations" approach using “Direct Method”; it is an intensive coding bootcamp where participants will take part by solving problems.

Readers will learn discrete mathematical abstracts as well as its implementation in algorithm and data structures shown in various programming languages, such as C, C++, PHP, Java, C#, Python and Dart. This book combines two major components of Mathematics and Computer Science under one roof.

You can write code. The interview still rejected you. You shipped the feature. You still didn't get promoted. You've been "senior" for years and you're still getting paged for incidents on systems you barely understand. This book is for the gaps — everything around the code that nobody explains and everyone learns the hard way. The inside account of what a technical interviewer is actually evaluating when they ask about your architecture. The difference between maintaining a system and owning it. How to build influence when you have no formal authority. How to stay relevant without burning out or becoming obsolete. Not theory. Not generic advice. Production experience distilled into a map of the profession.

This book covers R software development for building data science tools. This book provides rigorous training in the R language and covers modern software development practices for building tools that are highly reusable, modular, and suitable for use in a team-based environment or a community of developers.

Confucius never touched a computer, but he knew quite a lot about software. He has much to say about problems of knowledge and information, as well as right action under ambiguity, threats and constraints. Read as a set of commentaries on The Analects, these essays treat Confucius as an early theorist of the flow of information through rites, names and rules; the cyborg sage tangled in the half-built machine of the feudal state.

Close the gap between "AI that generates code" and "AI-assisted development for production software" with this complete, proven playbook including the six-phase arc from audit to production.
