A good software architecture should keep the cost of development low over the complete lifetime of an application. This book discusses how the Hexagonal Architecture style tries to fulfill this goal and translates the concepts into actual code to provide inspiration for software developers.

Effective Kotlin summarizes the best practices and experiences of the Kotlin community, together with a deep explanation of some lesser-known Kotlin functionalities. All of the best practices are presented as simple rules with detailed explanations.

First Principles in Scrum: The Definitive Guide to Agile Mastery First Principles in Scrum explores the deep foundations of Scrum and Agile, authored by Jeff Sutherland—Co-Creator of Scrum and a signatory of the Agile Manifesto. With a new chapter added every sprint, it now is the largest Agile resource ever compiled. Drawing on his background as a senior research scientist trained in radiation physics, Sutherland explains how principles from physics, biology, and neuroscience shape Scrum’s effectiveness. He also delves into the future of Agile, demonstrating how AI, when integrated with Scrum@Scale, can drive exponential productivity—projected to make teams 30-100 times more productive by 2030 . Whether you’re a CEO, manager, or practitioner, this series is essential reading. It’s a roadmap to mastering agility in a rapidly changing world, offering insights into how the iterative cycles of Agile mirror the adaptability of complex systems while embracing AI as a transformative force.

Long regarded as one of the first books to pioneer a people-oriented approach to computing, The Psychology of Computer Programming endures as a penetrating analysis of the intelligence, skill, teamwork, and problem-solving power of the computer programmer.

Agentic coding is transforming how developers write software. Instead of relying on static code completion, you now collaborate with autonomous AI agents that plan, execute, and improve with you. Agentic Coding for Beginners introduces this new era of intelligent development through practical, tool-agnostic lessons. You’ll learn to plan, build, and review software with AI agents, using real, runnable code and real tools: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and agent harnesses such as Pi. You'll walk away knowing how to steer an agent well and catch it when it's wrong.

Most writing about quant trading is about finding edges. This book is about everything that happens after you think you've found one: proving it's real, wiring it to a broker without lying to yourself, sizing it so a bad month doesn't end you, and running it as a process that survives restarts, data outages, and your own future mistakes. Repository (https://github.com/rayan-azhari/titan-quant).

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.
