  1. Spec Driven Development
    Spec Driven Development
    Build With AI Without Losing Control
    Bezael Pérez

    Using AI to code is easy. Using it without losing control — not so much.By week three, your project stops moving. The agent forgets decisions it made ten days ago. A change in auth breaks the dashboard. You spend more time re-explaining context than writing features. The code works, but only you know why — and you're not even sure you remember all of it.That's vibe coding hitting its ceiling.Spec-Driven Development is the method that replaces the chaos with a spec the AI actually executes. Not a ceremonial document. A working artifact: PRD, issues, tests, code — all traceable, all connected, all in the right order.This book shows you:How to grill your own idea before writing a single promptHow to write a PRD the AI won't misinterpretThe 7 phases that turn an idea into working softwareHow to use GitHub SpecKit and openSpec (and when not to)How to work this way in a team without slowing downThe 5 anti-patterns that destroy every spec22,000 words. 13 chapters. 5 appendices with ready-to-copy templates.No theory dumps. No filler. Just the method.

  3. Secure All The Things!
    Secure All The Things!
    (with Spring Security)
    Josh Long

    UPDATE: Please don't pay for this!! It's free. Please just take it for free. I'd much rather give it away. Even when it's done, it'll still be free. I'm 100% NOT trying to make money on this. Tell your friends, and be sure to read it. Your applications lives and runs in more places - MCP, desktop applications, browser-based application, data integration pipelines, gRPC, browsers, etc. - than ever. Can your security framework keep up? If you're using Spring Security, then it definitely can, and this book - by Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long - will show you how.

  13. Thinking with LLM, the right way
    Thinking with LLM, the right way
    Strengthening critical thinking with generative AI — without being used by it
    Francesco Fullone

    "The AI confirmed X for me" used as proof of X. Outputs that sound brilliant but don't hold up to a severe re-reading. A three-page "AI policy" that nobody reads. Sound familiar? Thinking with LLMs, the Right Way is the system of critical thinking applied to LLMs: the Thinking-With Triangle (Intent / Adversary / Editor), the four meta-decisions of governance, the Socratic and adversarial practices for investigating and verifying. Not prompt engineering: the method for not letting yourself be mirrored.

  14. Stop Implementing AI
    Stop Implementing AI
    The No-BS Playbook for AI That Works
    Cliff Robbins

    Most companies are stuck in "pilot purgatory"—endless AI experiments that never scale. Teams spend weeks sharing clever prompts and one-off scripts, but nothing makes it into production. Budgets evaporate, engineers' enthusiasm curdles into cynicism, and executives start asking "we spent how much on this?" The problem isn't the AI tools—it's the approach. AI models are inherently non-deterministic (ask the same question twice, get different answers), while software engineering demands deterministic, reliable results. Without structure to bridge this gap, AI adoption fails spectacularly. This book introduces PIT™ (Plan Implement Test), a proven methodology that transforms unpredictable AI outputs into reliable engineering workflows. Built from thousands of hours of real development work, PIT™ channels AI's capabilities through structured planning, phased implementation, and comprehensive testing—delivering the consistency that production code demands.
