This book takes you straight into the Compose compiler, runtime, and UI layer, all about Compose performance tuning, reading the source line by line and explaining the why behind every design decision, then connecting each internal mechanism back to the code you write every day. With four in-depth chapters, 40+ original diagrams, dozens of "In Practice" sections, and "Pro Tips for Mastery" sidebars, it turns Compose from a set of APIs you memorize into a system you can reason about from first principles, debug with confidence, and optimize with intent. The Course: Jetpack Compose Mechanisms

Fifty RF‑101 Voodoos arrived in Vietnam. Forty‑seven were shot down in a year. The pilots who survived didn't fly faster aircraft — they cycled through the OODA loop faster than the missiles chasing them. Jeff Sutherland was one of them. He went on to co‑create Scrum. Now, six decades later, he is running AI agents through daily sprints at machine speed — and this book is the playbook for how to do it without getting shot down.

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.

Takes you from “how to use Kotlin” into “how Kotlin really works,” revealing the internal implementations, desmifying bytecodes and compiler behavior, and internals that shape the language. If you want to write smarter, more confident Kotlin across fundamentals, coroutines, and multiplatform, this is the book that shows you why everything is the way it is.

An open, technical and introductory book for the Zig programming language, which is a new general-purpose and low-level programming language.

Bad data breaks good code. You’ve written Python that works perfectly in testing, only to watch it fail in production because of a malformed API request, a messy CSV, or a missing config value. That’s the hidden cost of Python’s flexibility: without runtime validation, you’re always one bad input away from a crash. Enter Pydantic. This book takes you from the foundations of data validation to real-world applications in APIs, data pipelines, configurations, and machine learning workflows. Along the way, you’ll explore practical techniques, advanced features, and alternatives like Marshmallow, attrs, and dataclasses, so you’ll always know which tool is right for the job. If you’re a Python developer, data engineer, or FastAPI user, this is your roadmap to writing safer, cleaner, and more reliable code.

Your organization does all the right things. They practice chaos engineering, GameDays, and load testing. They conduct incident reviews and operational readiness reviews. Yet the same types of incidents keep recurring. This book examines why resilience practices so often fail to build resilience, revealing the organizational dynamics that systematically transform learning mechanisms into compliance theater and what you can do to navigate them consciously.

Learn databases from the bottom up by coding your own, in small steps, and with simple Go code (language agnostic).Atomicity & durability. A DB is more than files!Persist data with fsync.Crash recovery.KV store based on B-tree.Disk-based data structures.Space management with a free list.Relational DB on top of KV.Learn how tables and indexes are related to B-trees.SQL-like query language; parser & interpreter.Concurrent transactions with copy-on-write data structures.

Most embedded teams say they “avoid OOP” and “stick to C.” But look closely at real C codebases and you’ll find function-pointer tables, opaque handles, and generic device arrays—manual object models built the hard way. Beyond Blinky shows how to embrace that reality consciously, using modern C++ to design firmware that is readable, portable, and owned—without sacrificing performance or control. This book is about moving past the blinking LED mindset and designing embedded systems as living architectures, not scripts. To blinky and beyond—Let's make your IO sing!

Master structural code search and refactoring with ast-grep, the definitive tool for AST-based code manipulation. This comprehensive guide builds your expertise from the ground up, revealing why regex-based searching fails and how Abstract Syntax Trees enable transformations that text-based tools cannot achieve. You'll progress from foundational concepts to advanced techniques, gaining the deep understanding and systematic skills to automate complex refactorings, enforce architectural patterns, and wield code structure itself as your instrument.
