Build real-world software by coding a Redis server from scratch.Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.From scratch. A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!

Ever wondered what really happens inside the Linux kernel when a program runs? Go beyond the surface and explore the code, data structures and hardware mechanisms that make Linux work. From system calls to CPU instructions, this book takes you deep into the kernel’s inner workings, giving experienced programmers a closer look at the system they rely on every day.

Build a real LLM inference engine from the ground up in portable C. Learn how transformers work, load SafeTensors weights, implement KV caching and optimize inference on the CPU. By the end, you will run TinyLlama locally and generate text with a complete working runtime.

Build games that run almost anywhere with SDL3. This book starts with the basics and steadily moves into advanced graphics, audio, input, and application design using practical, real-world examples. Every chapter includes complete code you can compile and experiment with, helping you understand not just how SDL3 works, but how to use it to build fast, portable applications with confidence.

Get up to speed with C++20 and its most impactful features.

A book that compiles into the software it describes.Learn double-entry accounting by building a complete ledger in C and SQLite, using literate programming. From journal entries and accounting invariants to an AI-powered bookkeeper through MCP, every component is explained and implemented.

Modern C++ Memory Safety shows you how to make existing C++ systems safer without starting over. Learn practical ways to find and fix memory safety issues using modern C++, compiler tools, sanitizers, static analysis and fuzzing, with techniques you can apply directly to real production code.

Modernize your C codebase without tearing it apart. From C to Rust is a practical guide to introducing Rust where it actually makes sense, building safe boundaries and migrating piece by piece while production keeps running. No hype, no clean-slate fantasy, just real tradeoffs, runnable examples and a path you can follow.

Go beyond the surface of Windows development and explore the platform from the inside out. Covering everything from kernel internals and Win32 APIs to the Windows App SDK, cloud integration, virtualization, and AI, this comprehensive reference equips experienced developers with the knowledge to build high-performance, secure, and modern Windows applications with confidence.

Level up your C++, get the tools working for you, eliminate common problems, and move on to more exciting things!

Learn C by proving your code correct before you write it. The same methodology behind certified aerospace and medical systems - now applied to learning C from the ground up.

For the first time ever, C++23 changes "Hello World" in C++. What kind of fundamental changes does this mean for your code?

You are going to discover why templates as-is are not enough and how concepts came to the rescue. You are going to learn about how to use them in four different ways with functions, how to use them with classes, what kind of concepts are already delivered with the standard library and how to write new ones from scratch.
