Are you a beginner or an intermediate learner who has been struggling through the maze of OOP and Design Patterns concepts of PHP and you also want to learn the cool new features of PHP 7?Then this book is for you.

This booklet is a concise, practical and visual guide to the software practice of Domain-Driven Design.

The software landscape is more crowed than ever! New frameworks seem to arrive weekly.  There are tons of books out there about mastering specific frameworks, but here is one to help you master the one constant factor, no matter where you are:  constructing the source code. Build great things in any programming notation; the rules are inside...

Blockchain Security: Attack and Defense Master offensive and defensive security techniques across smart contracts, DeFi protocols, bridges, rollups, consensus systems, and next-generation Web3 infrastructure. Blockchain ecosystems secure billions of dollars in digital assets, yet they remain one of the most aggressively targeted sectors in cybersecurity. From reentrancy vulnerabilities and oracle manipulation to flash loan exploits, bridge compromises, governance attacks, and Layer-2 weaknesses, modern blockchain security demands expertise that spans cryptography, distributed systems, protocol engineering, and adversarial thinking.

CIS-SAM is an Implementation Specialist exam — it tests whether you can configure SAM Professional, not whether you know ITAM theory. This guide is organised against ServiceNow's published blueprint, domain by domain, and weights its depth the way the exam does. All five domains across 15 chapters, plus a 60-question practice exam with worked answers.

Building Advanced Algorithmic Crypto Trading Systems Design, engineer, and deploy institutional-grade algorithmic trading infrastructure for cryptocurrency markets, from nanosecond market data processing to live execution, quantitative modeling, and AI-driven trading strategies.

Build a real language server from the ground up in Rust. Learn how LSP works, then turn parsing, analysis and async Rust into autocomplete, diagnostics, go-to-definition, refactoring and more. By the end, you’ll have a production-ready server that works with VS Code, Neovim and other modern editors.

Go beyond writing kernel modules and learn how real Linux GPU drivers are built. Starting with GPU architecture and the graphics stack, this hands-on guide walks you through creating a complete DRM driver, from a minimal module to memory management, command submission, display support and error recovery.

Heisenbugs, rubber ducks, spaghetti code, and everything in between. Explore 158 developer terms across 15 chapters in a visual field guide to the language behind the code. Created with AI assistance using scrolloom™.

Smart Contract Security: Finding DeFi Vulnerabilities is a comprehensive technical guide to understanding, identifying, and mitigating security vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized finance protocols. The title begins with the foundations of EVM architecture, Solidity execution, storage layout, threat modeling, and access control before progressing into the most important vulnerability classes encountered in modern smart contracts. Topics include reentrancy, read-only reentrancy, arithmetic and precision issues, denial-of-service patterns, unchecked calls, transaction-ordering dependencies, MEV, and integration risks.

Master the 5 advanced Git power skills: reflog recovery, interactive rebase, cherry-pick, bisect debugging, and professional commit messages. Git, The Magic Notebook teaches Git through story and scenario, not boring command reference.You learn through real developers (Ajay, Maya, Ravi, Sanjay) facing real problems. The code examples work. The diagrams show actual processes. The scenarios are genuinely realistic.Because that's how you actually learn Git. Most developers know just enough Git to be dangerous. You could be one of the few who genuinely understands it.Start here. Master these power skills. Become the Git expert your team trusts.

When critical infrastructure degrades, customer-facing applications continue blindly routing users into broken flows because modern architectures lack a dedicated layer for runtime coordination. This book introduces the Operational State Control Plane (OSCP)-formalizing the contracts, distribution mechanics, and zero-network resilience required to govern multi-surface application behavior during active incidents. A practical blueprint for platform architects, principal engineers, and SRE leaders running distributed production estates.

Learn real DevOps by building a production-style environment on your laptop. No cloud bills or subscriptions. Just systems you control end-to-end.
