  1. Under The Hood
    Build Every Layer of a Large Language Model from Scratch
    Ramchand Kumaresan

    Bestselling book on building LLMs. A practical, project-driven manual for engineers who want to understand how modern language models are built — and where they fail — by writing every layer themselves.

  2. Jetpack Compose 메커니즘
    @Composable의 모든 작동 원리를 파헤치다.
    Jaewoong

    이 책은 컴포즈 컴파일러, 런타임, UI 레이어, 그리고 성능 튜닝에 이르기까지 컴포즈의 모든 것을 탐구합니다. Jetpack Compose의 내부 소스 코드를 한 줄 한 줄 읽어 내려가며 특정 설계가 왜 그렇게 결정되었는지 그 이면을 설명하고, 여러분이 매일 작성하는 코드를 내부 메커니즘과 연결해 줍니다. 이 책을 읽고 나면 컴파일러와 런타임, UI 계층의 동작 시스템이 머릿속에 완성될 것이고, 궁극적으로 여러분이 일상에서 작성하는 컴포즈 프로젝트의 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 코스 (영문): Jetpack Compose Mechanisms | 하드커버 종이책 (영문) | ISBN-13: 9798185354780

  3. The Sovereign Engineer
    AI Literacy for Software Professionals
    Russ Miles

    AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

  4. Build Your Own Coding Agent
    The Zero-Magic Guide to AI Agents in Pure Python
    J. Owen

    Skip the black-box frameworks. Build a production-grade AI coding agent from scratch in pure Python - cloud or local, tested with pytest, all in a single file.

  5. Make Bugs (nearly) Impossible
    Resisting human and AI slop in an LLM age.
    Jason Turner

    With the advent of LLMs and AI coding assistants, we are generating code at an ever-accelerating rate. How do we manage this influx of code without getting fatigued and overwhelmed? How do we ensure coding standards are maintained? What practices and tools can we put in place to amplify our efforts while not introducing more bugs?

  6. System Design for the LLM Era
    Patterns and Principles for Production-Grade AI Architecture
    Sampriti Mitra

    STOP building fragile AI wrappers. START designing resilient AI systems. Lots of companies are trying to make their small AI experiments into big products, but they don't have a good plan. Engineers need a practical guide to build these new AI systems the right way - so they can handle scale, be reliable, and won't cost too much. This book is that guide. It explains how to design systems that use AI models. This book breaks down the architecture of real AI applications, like an AI-powered code editor or a smart learning app. It gives you a deep, practical look at the real-world challenges and solutions for building these systems. It discusses system design concepts for systems that use LLMs.
