Books

  1. Harness Engineering
    Harness Engineering
    Building Reliable Workflows Around Non-Deterministic Agents
    Ian Johnson

    This book teaches harness engineering as a discipline. Not magic prompts. Not vendor tricks. Engineering practice applied to a new substrate.

  2. Microsoft Agent Framework in .NET
    Microsoft Agent Framework in .NET
    Build production-ready AI agents and multi-agent systems in C#
    Daniel Costea

    A practical, code-first guide to building production-ready AI agents and multi-agent systems in C# with Microsoft Agent Framework, Microsoft.Extensions.AI, tools, context, orchestration, observability, workflows, and enterprise-ready patterns.

  3. Local Intelligence
    Local Intelligence
    Running Large Language Models on Your MacBook with Apple Silicon
    Steve Publications

    Local Intelligence shows you how to run large language models entirely on your Mac with Apple Silicon. Learn to use tools like Ollama, MLX, and llama.cpp, understand quantization, and build real local AI applications with open-source code.

  4. DSPy in Depth
    DSPy in Depth
    Programming Language Models from Zero to Production
    Steve Publications

    Learn to build production-ready LLM applications with DSPy through hands-on tutorials, complete runnable examples, and real-world projects. Master DSPy's core abstractions and create AI systems that improve with data instead of endless prompt tweaking.

  5. The Agentic AI book
    The Agentic AI book
    From Language Models to Multi-Agent Systems
    Dr. Ryan Rad

    It's never been easier to build an AI agent — and never been harder to make one that actually works. This book takes you from language model foundations to production-ready multi-agent systems with the depth to predict failure before it happens, engineer graceful degradation over catastrophic failure, and take absolute architectural ownership. Get the paperback from amazon.

  6. Inside llama.cpp
    Inside llama.cpp
    The Complete Guide to Building, Running, and Optimizing Local LLM Inference
    Steve Publications

    Learn how to build, run, and optimize llama.cpp from the ground up. This book covers everything from compiling the code and working with GGUF models to deploying fast, production-ready local LLM inference.

  7. Building AI Agents with C# and .NET 10
    Building AI Agents with C# and .NET 10
    A Developer’s First Guide to the Microsoft Agent Framework
    Rachid DAHIR

    Your C# skills are worth more today than they were a year ago — if you know how to put a language model in the loop. This book shows you how, with the Microsoft Agent Framework: real tools, RAG, multi-agent orchestration, plus the hosting, observability, and safety that separate a demo from a system you ship. Nineteen chapters. 120 runnable projects. No Python detours. Just C# and .NET 10.

  8. Engineering Memory for AI Agents
    Engineering Memory for AI Agents
    From First Principles to Production Systems
    Steve Publications

    AI agents don’t fail because they forget everything. They fail because they remember badly. This book shows you how to engineer memory that stays accurate, efficient and useful over time. From SQLite and PostgreSQL to vector indexes and multi-agent systems, you’ll learn what it takes to build agents that can run for days without losing the plot.

  9. Architect the Solution: The CCAR-P Certification Guide
    Architect the Solution: The CCAR-P Certification Guide
    A scenario-based study guide for the Claude Certified Architect Professional exam
    Thomas De Vos

    The CCAR-P exam tests judgment, not trivia. This scenario-based guide covers all seven domains, from solution design and RAG to governance and stakeholder communication, with 62 sketchnote figures, chapter quizzes, a distractor appendix that explains every wrong answer, and a full 63-question practice exam at the official weighting.

  10. Codex CLI: The Definitive Guide
    Codex CLI: The Definitive Guide
    From First Prompt to Production Workflows
    Steve Publications

    Master Codex CLI from your first prompt to production-ready AI workflows. Learn how to automate coding, streamline development, and use OpenAI's terminal-native coding agent with confidence.

  11. Claude Code: Von den Grundlagen zur Meisterschaft
    Claude Code: Von den Grundlagen zur Meisterschaft
    Der umfassende Leitfaden zur Entwicklung agentenbasierter Software im Jahr 2026
    Steve Publications

    Die Softwareentwicklung wandelt sich rasant, und Claude Code steht im Zentrum dieses Wandels. „Mastering Claude Code“ zeigt, wie Entwickler mit KI-Agenten Code schreiben, Arbeitsabläufe automatisieren und auch komplexe Projekte effizient umsetzen. Praxisnah vermittelt das Buch Einrichtung, Prompt-Design und bewährte Engineering-Praktiken für moderne Softwareentwicklung im Jahr 2026.

  12. The Art of Harness Engineering
    The Art of Harness Engineering
    Building, Testing, and Governing AI Systems in Production
    Steve Publications

    The hardest part of building AI is not the model. It is everything around it. The Art of Harness Engineering is a practical guide to turning AI prototypes into reliable products. It covers testing, guardrails, observability and governance, giving you the tools to build AI systems people can trust and organizations can run with confidence.

  13. Building Pragmatic AI Agents That Use Tools and APIs
    Building Pragmatic AI Agents That Use Tools and APIs
    Building Systems That Use Tools and APIs with DSPy, Pydantic AI, Claude SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, and Google ADK
    Steve Publications

    Most AI systems can talk, but few can actually do. This book shows you how to build AI agents that reliably use tools, call APIs and automate real workflows. Using DSPy, Pydantic AI, the Claude Agent SDK, the OpenAI Agents SDK and Google ADK, you'll learn practical patterns for building reliable agents that work in production.

  14. The Claude Certified Architect Study Guide
    The Claude Certified Architect Study Guide
