"Work in Progress" - Updated with the latest syntax, new CPAN modules and new file formats

Build reliable LLM applications from first prompt to production agent. AI Engineering Visualized uses memorable doodles, practical Python, RAG, evals, tool calling and safety patterns to help you ship AI systems that work on Monday.

The fastest practical path to understanding harness-driven development as a complete system. Through clear visual diagrams and a real repository mapped to the book, you will see how a harness guides AI agents, evaluates their work, detects drift, enforces constraints, supports repair, and keeps software evolution visible, verifiable, and under control.

Your hard skills landed you the management position, but it’s your soft and management skills that will drive your success. Numerous books cover architecture and processes, "Amazing CTO" stands out as the essential guide for managing effectively, authored by influential CTO Coach Stephan Schmidt.

Agents that plan, act and recover: the harness around the model. Tools, plans, checks, state, approvals and memory, drawn and built in Python.

This book explains Samman Technical Coaching. It is a method for helping software teams to become more agile, learn Test-Driven Development, and raise the quality of their work.

We will define the developer contract first, and we will then build the platform underneath it together, step by step, using decisions that hold up in regulated environments and in small startups alike. Along the way, we will provision clusters, wire delivery, publish a developer API, enforce policy and ship observability, and we will do all of it where you can see every command, every manifest and every failure. Nothing here stays theoretical, because platform problems only show their true shape where an abstraction meets a real cluster.

Der "C# Crashkurs" ist ein prägnanter Überblick über die Syntax der Programmiersprache C# in der aktuellen Version C# 15.0 RTM. Dies ist die aktuellste Buchversion 15.0 vom 06.11.2026.

Your feed handler parsed every test message correctly. Then a real exchange dropped two packets on an ordinary Tuesday, and the book kept building, internally consistent and wrong.Nothing crashed. Nothing threw. Four minutes of bad quotes went out before anyone noticed.This book is about that gap: the distance between a parser that works and a feed handler you can trust. You will build zero-copy FIX, ITCH, and OUCH parsers with no heap allocation on the hot path, detect sequence gaps without stalling live traffic, recover from outages without corrupting book state, and prove the result with byte-identical replay.If your system has never lost a sequence number in testing, you do not have a feed handler. You have a demo.Weston Ashgrove is a trading systems architect who has built and debugged the failures in these pages.

Build collaborative software that keeps working when the network does not. This practical guide takes you from distributed systems fundamentals to working CRDT implementations and production-ready collaboration. Learn how CRDTs work, where they fit and how to handle scaling, security, metadata growth and failure in real systems.

Learn Lua from your first script to advanced programming techniques with a practical, hands-on guide. Whether you are building games, scripting applications, or exploring embedded systems, this book gives you the knowledge to write clean, efficient Lua code with confidence.

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.

The practical guide to AI-first teamwork. Includes access to the 'CollabAI AI companion' that helps you run your first session immediately. Most teams have fast individuals—but a slow system. AI can change that. CollabAI is the manual for teams who want to stop waiting and start flowing. It moves beyond "chatting with a bot" to a new collaborative rhythm where humans and AI build, test, and decide together in real time. Inside, you’ll discover:The Framework: How to run CollabAI sessions that compress weeks of work into hours.The Science: Why "System 2 Rituals" and psychological safety are the hard requirements for speed.The Scale: How to apply Joe Justice’s principles (Justice Boards & DSM) to run entire organizations without managers.The Future: How to transition safely to Agentic AI workflows using the Agion Pattern.Start optimizing the flow.

This practical handbook provides a step-by-step guide for you to get the best continuous delivery pipeline for your software.

A scenario-based study guide for the Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCAR-F) exam. Learn to reason like an architect across all five domains, then prove it on two full practice exams.
