Books

  1. Tokens Not Jokin'
    How API Documentation Format Affects AI Code Generation
    Ed Grzetich

    Documentation format explains 10 to 127 times more variance in AI-generated code than model choice. We ran 21,462 tests to prove it. This book shows you which formats work, which ones break, and why the industry standard is the worst option for AI consumption.

  2. Mastering React.js Interviews
    For Middle/Senior Developers
    Kristiyan Velkov

    This book is your ultimate roadmap to modern React.js interviews and standing out from the crowd.Built on 350+ real interview insights, it covers the exact topics top companies test—from security, accessibility, and performance to TypeScript, architecture, and deployment—so you can master every question with confidence and land the role you deserve.

  3. Node.js Authentication & Authorization: From Zero to Production
    Build Secure, Real-World Auth Systems with JWT, Email Verification, Password Recovery, Role-Based Access, and Testing
    Roberto Stepic

    Most authentication tutorials show you how to log users in. This book shows you how to trust your system in production.Learn how authentication and authorization really work by building a complete Node.js backend with email verification, JWTs, password recovery, admin roles, security protections, and full Postman testing—without shortcuts, magic, or guesswork.If you’re tired of auth tutorials that break the moment things get real, this book is for you.

  4. The API Gateway Handbook
    Your Practical Guide to API Gateway Setup, Security, and Operation
    Thomas Bayer and Tobias Polley

    Whether you’re exposing APIs to partners, building microservices, or connecting legacy systems, API Gateways sit at the heart of your infrastructure. This book takes you step by step through architecture, security, traffic control, OpenAPI validation, and real-world deployment. With vendor-neutral guidance and practical examples using the open-source Membrane API Gateway, it’s a hands-on resource for API developers, architects, and platform teams.

  5. asyncio from ground up
    A working Mental Model for Python asyncio
    Ritesh Modi

    Most asyncio tutorials introduce async and await on page one and ask you to take the runtime on faith. This book does it the other way around. You build a working event loop in thirty lines of plain Python — no asyncio import — and meet the keywords as labels for parts of a runtime you have already watched run. By the end, async Python stops being intimidating and starts being readable.

  6. Koddan Kariyere: JavaScript & Node.js ile Sıfırdan Profesyonele
    Modern JavaScript, Node.js, Backend Geliştirme, REST API, Nesne Yönelimli Programlama (OOP), Asenkron Programlama, Veritabanları ve Yazılım Mühendisliğini Gerçek Projelerle Öğrenin
    Mert Turedu

    JavaScript ve Node.js öğrenmek isteyenler için başlangıçtan profesyonel seviyeye uzanan kapsamlı bir rehber. 1300+ sayfalık bu eser; modern JavaScript, Node.js, REST API, OOP, asenkron programlama, veritabanları, Clean Code, SOLID prensipleri, yazılım mimarisi ve gerçek dünya projeleriyle yalnızca kod yazmayı değil, yazılım mühendisi gibi düşünmeyi öğretir.

  7. Code to Career: JavaScript & Node.js from Zero to Professional

    Mert Turedu

    Master modern JavaScript and Node.js from absolute beginner to professional with 1,100+ pages of practical explanations, real-world examples, exercises, projects, and career guidance.

  8. Mastering Kong API Gateway
    From Core Architecture to AI-Powered LLM Orchestration
    Steve Publications

    Master Kong API Gateway with a practical guide that takes you from core architecture to advanced AI-powered API management. Learn to build secure, scalable platforms with production-ready examples, explore Kubernetes, decK and Terraform workflows, and discover how Kong AI Gateway enables intelligent LLM routing, semantic caching, guardrails and cost optimization across modern AI applications.

  9. Apache APISIX is redefining what an API gateway can do in the age of AI. This hands-on guide takes you from the fundamentals to production-ready deployments, showing you how to build secure, scalable, and intelligent gateways for APIs, microservices and AI applications. With practical examples, you will gain the skills to confidently deploy, manage and optimize modern API infrastructure.

  10. ENTERPRISE AI ARCHITECTURE AND THE MODERN AI STACK
    VOLUME II — RUNNING THE STACK
    Padmanabham Venkiteela

    Designing AI is only half the journey. Learn how to deploy, secure, govern, monitor, and scale Enterprise AI systems for production with practical architectures and proven operational strategies.

  11. API Testing Fundamentals: Postman to Pytest
    From Postman Exploration to Automated REST, GraphQL, and gRPC Pipelines
    Yuri Syuganov

    From clicking Send in Postman to API suites running in CI — REST, GraphQL, and gRPC, with the HTTP fundamentals that make it all make sense.

  12. Practical Python Backend Programming, Second Edition
    Hands-on backend development with FastAPI, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and message brokers using Python 3.14
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    It's a practical book. We're going to build something real together, a University API, and we're going to grow it chapter by chapter until it looks like a system you'd be proud to deploy. We'll start with a few endpoints, give it databases, make it concurrent, lock it down with authentication, wrap it in containers, and finally split it into cooperating services that talk over the network.

  13. Every web application has security headers, cookies, TLS configurations, and CORS policies that need to be correct. Most teams find out they're wrong only after a penetration test — or worse, after an incident. This book shows you how to build a scanner that catches these issues automatically. You'll create a Python CLI tool that uses Hurl (declarative HTTP testing) to assert security properties, SSLyze to validate TLS protocol versions, and AI to generate specific remediation for every failure it finds. The output: structured JSON reports, visual HTML dashboards, and AI-generated security posture assessments. **What you'll build:** - 9 declarative Hurl security test files (headers, cookies, CORS, HSTS, CSP, CSRF, redirects, TLS) - A preprocessor that handles domain substitution and authentication - An output parser with built-in remediation guidance for every test - A TLS scanner validating SSL 2.0/3.0 disabled and TLS 1.2/1.3 enabled - An AI analyzer that generates context-specific fixes using Ollama, OpenAI, or Bedrock - An HTML reporter with dark-themed visual dashboards - Docker multi-architecture deployment - CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions **Who this is for:** - Developers who want security checks before deploying - DevSecOps engineers building CI/CD security gates - Penetration testers who need quick baseline assessments - Security students learning web vulnerability concepts hands-on - Platform teams enforcing security standards across services Every failure includes: what was expected, what was received, why it matters, how to fix it, and a documentation link. AI adds domain-specific code examples on top.
