MCP can transform the way you work with Claude Code. This practical guide takes you from the basics to production, showing you how to connect tools, build integrations, automate workflows and ship reliable, secure solutions you can use right away.

What happens when Lean Six Sigma meets software development? This practical guide shows engineering leaders and teams how to improve quality, flow and performance without losing sight of how software actually gets built. From Agile and DevOps to metrics and continuous improvement, learn what works, what doesn't and how to make change stick.

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.

AI application development is moving fast, but building systems that actually work in production is still difficult. This guide shows you how to build, deploy and scale AI applications with Dify, covering visual workflows, RAG, AI agents, integrations, security and production operations. It's a practical, hands-on resource for turning prototypes into reliable real-world applications.

Failure Driven Development Software Development Habits Haven't Caught Up to Cheap Compute. Design software the way electrical engineers design circuits — probes, test jigs, and a bowl of trusted parts — and field defects follow the same trajectory as hardware: toward zero.
