  1. Web Components with Lit
    Web Components with Lit
    A hands-on guide to building web components and design systems
    Sandeep Kumar Patel

    Frameworks come and go; components built on the browser's own element model don't have to. This book teaches the platform first, then Lit on top of it, and builds one real design system the whole way through: from a bare button to a versioned, documented, server-renderable npm package.

  2. Agentic Cybersecurity: Engineering Autonomous AI Defense

    Agentic Cybersecurity: Engineering Autonomous AI Defense Cybersecurity is moving beyond traditional automation toward intelligent systems capable of continuously analyzing telemetry, investigating threats, using security tools, and executing controlled defensive actions. Agentic Cybersecurity: Engineering Autonomous AI Defense provides a practical technical overview of how to design, build, secure, and operate autonomous AI-driven cybersecurity systems.

  3. Operating Systems and Systems Programming

    A practical guide to operating systems, systems programming, memory, concurrency, filesystems, and low-level system behavior.

  4. From Companion to Control: Weaponizing AI

    From Companion to Control: Weaponizing AI Artificial Intelligence was introduced as a companion, an assistant, and an accelerator of human potential. But what happens when the same technology becomes an instrument of surveillance, behavioral manipulation, censorship, and control? From Companion to Control: Weaponizing AI is a deep technical investigation into how modern AI systems can be transformed from helpful tools into powerful mechanisms of influence, monitoring, and coercion.

  5. AI Watermarks
    AI Watermarks
    How a Model Signs What It Writes
    Ritesh Modi

    Every sentence an AI writes can carry a hidden signature, and the world's biggest models are already signing their output. AI Watermarking shows you exactly how it works, using a four-word vocabulary and arithmetic you can check with a pocket calculator. By the end you will know what a watermark can prove, what destroys it in seconds, and why short text can never be tested.

  10. THE LOGS OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA

    What if the Bhagavad Gita began with a code review? A Merge Request adds two harmless getters to an immutable Money Value Object. The tests pass. The pipeline is green. Arjuna still cannot approve it. Standing between the DDD Alliance and the Just Ship It Legion, he turns to Krishna for guidance on domain truth, technical karma, architectural duty, knowledge crunching, entropy—and the dangerous illusion that a working implementation must also be a truthful model. The Logs of the Bhagavad Gita is an affectionate, technically serious and occasionally irresponsible encounter between ancient philosophy and modern software development. No framework will attain enlightenment. Your Aggregate Root might.

  11. Building High-Performance Compression Systems
    Building High-Performance Compression Systems
    bzip3 and Beyond
    Steve Publications

    What really makes a compression system fast, efficient and effective? Using bzip3 as a practical case study, this book breaks down the building blocks behind modern compression, from data transforms and match finding to entropy coding and parallel processing. Learn how to design, implement and tune compression systems for real-world performance.

    learn Nim Programming Language basic to advance
    Mastering Nim Programming: Build High-Performance Systems, Games, and Web Apps with Python-like Syntax and C-level Speed You’ve probably noticed that most programming books are either too theoretical or filled with outdated examples. When I first started learning Nim, I faced the same frustration. That’s exactly why I wrote this book—not just to teach syntax, but to turn you into a production-ready Nim developer. This isn’t a generic tutorial. It’s a practical, 2026-updated guide that takes you step-by-step from zero to advanced systems programming. 📘 What You’ll Master Inside We always tie theory to real code. Every chapter includes: Modern Nim Core: Understand variables, types, and control flow without boring lectures. Focus directly on patterns professional Nim devs use daily. Metaprogramming Demystified: Macros and templates are Nim’s superpower, but most books overcomplicate them. We’ll make them simple enough for you to write your own DSLs. Systems & Memory Control: Safely handle GC-free modes, manual memory management, and C/C++ interop. This is the skill that lets you build high-performance tools. Real-World Projects: No more “Hello World.” Together we’ll build an async web backend (Jester/Prologue), a 2D game prototype, and a cross-platform CLI tool. Concurrency Done Right: Implement threads, channels, and async/await in practical scenarios without fear of race conditions. 🎯 Who Is This Book For? Python Devs tired of performance bottlenecks who don’t want C++ complexity. C/C++ Programmers who want modern syntax and safety without losing speed. Rust Developers exploring Nim’s gentler learning curve and faster compilation. Students & Hobbyists aiming for careers in compilers, game dev, or embedded systems. 💡 Why This Edition Is Different 90% of Nim content online is based on Nim 1.x or older. This book is built on the 2026 stable compiler, updated standard library, and modern tooling (nimble, nimlangserver). You won’t make the same mistakes I made five years ago. ✍️ Author’s Note I’ve spent years in systems programming and open-source contribution. I wrote this book because when I was learning Nim, there was no comprehensive, up-to-date resource like this. My goal is simple: flatten your learning curve so you can achieve in weeks what took me months. Get Started Now Nim isn’t just a language—it’s a different way of thinking. If you want both clean code and raw performance, this book will be the most important step in your journey. 📥 Read the free sample chapter to see if this book is right for you!
