Software Engineering

Start programming in Java from scratch - beginner friendly style.Learn coding in the IDEA IntelliJ professional IDE for Java34 theory lessons (PDF, EPUB) with 170+ executable code examples (ZIP file - course for Intellij Academy plugin)572+ diverse programming tasks: answer questions, complete code, correct syntax errors, correct code, write alternative solutions (ZIP file - course for Intellij Academy plugin)Tasks start very easy and gradually work toward medium ones, and finally the hard ones.We got you covered! All tasks come with automated tests to see if your solution is correct, but also a predefined solution which can be compared side-by-side with your solution. More complex tasks come with hints to help you solve them.If that is not enough, and you still feel confused about some task, there are 200+ explanation videos which explain the solution to medium and hard tasks step-by-step (explanation videos are sold separately).

Pela primeira vez em português, a história detalhada de como chegamos ao movimento Ágil e como ele tem evoluído desde então.

Are you an absolute beginner with no prior knowledge to any programming language? But you want to be an Android or iOS mobile application developer? This book will teach you both. You will learn to build Advanced Flutter Apps, from scratch. You will also learn Dart programming language that runs Flutter.

An extensive glossary of software architecture (and development) terminology. Explains the terms used and referenced in the iSAQB foundation and advanced level curricula.

What does it take to build distributed systems that keep working when things go wrong? Engineering Distributed Systems on the BEAM goes beyond syntax to show how Erlang/OTP turns concurrency, failure and recovery into practical design tools. Build a real system from the ground up, then learn how to scale, deploy and operate it with confidence.

Build terminal apps that feel fast, polished and built to last. Terminal Interfaces takes you from the fundamentals of how terminals work to production-ready TUIs in Go, Python and Rust, using complete examples that grow from simple programs into powerful real-world tools.

Go beyond Go syntax and learn how real systems are built. Modern Go Systems Programming with Go 1.27 takes you from core language concepts to concurrency, networking, databases, observability and deployment, with runnable examples that show how everything fits together in production-grade distributed systems.

Formal verification does not have to live in research papers. This practical guide shows working software engineers how to turn real requirements into precise, machine-checkable guarantees, find bugs before they reach production and bring formal methods into everyday development, from application code to distributed and security-critical systems.

Advanced Rust Programming goes beneath Rust’s safe surface to reveal the machinery that makes high-performance systems possible. Explore unsafe contracts, atomics, async internals, FFI, allocators and more through practical examples that sharpen your instincts and help you build faster, safer production-grade software.

Discover what makes Racket more than just another programming language. Mastering Racket takes you from the fundamentals to macros, concurrency, web development and custom language design through practical, runnable examples. Learn to think in Racket and unlock the ideas that make it such a powerful tool for building software.

SIMD can make software dramatically faster, but getting it right takes more than knowing a few intrinsics. This book shows you how vectorization really works, how to avoid costly mistakes and how to turn ordinary code into fast, production-ready software with techniques you can use again and again.

Use LoRA because it forgets less. Keep the learning rate low. Mix in some general data. Stopearly. Four pieces of advice everyone repeats and almost nobody quantifies. This book measures each one — and two turn out to be doing something other than what they arecredited with. LoRA's retention is governed by a scaling constant, not by its parameterefficiency. Early stopping bounds the damage without separating it from the gain. Everyexperiment reports two numbers: the new task, and the capability you were not trying tochange.

Start with your first line of code and grow into a confident VB.NET developer. Through clear explanations, practical examples and real-world projects, you’ll master modern .NET, object-oriented design, LINQ, async programming, databases, Windows apps, web APIs, testing and deployment, with a focus on writing software built for the real world.

AI coding agents can move fast, but speed without clear intent creates expensive mistakes. This practical guide shows how Behavior-Driven Development turns specifications into a reliable contract between you and autonomous coding systems, helping agents build the right thing, catch problems earlier and produce software you can trust.

Chunk at 500 with 50 of overlap. Retrieve five. Add a reranker. Use hybrid search.Repeated everywhere, justified almost nowhere. This book measures them instead, on corpora built so that the correct answer follows fromhow they were made. Several results contradicted the advice: the hybrid combination lost inevery condition tested, neither reranker produced an effect above the noise floor, andattribution collapsed to 0.170 while retrieval was still reporting 0.920.
