Discover how Windows software really works with a practical guide to modern x64 assembly. From core concepts to advanced optimization, reverse engineering, and low-level systems programming, this book equips you with the knowledge to write fast, secure, and efficient code.

Build beautiful, high-performance Apple Watch apps with confidence. From SwiftUI fundamentals and HealthKit integration to connectivity, complications, and App Store deployment, this practical guide teaches you everything you need to create fast, intuitive watchOS experiences that users will love wearing every day.

Whether you're new to Arduino or building more advanced projects, this book covers everything from basic electronics and C/C++ to sensors, robotics, IoT and cloud-connected applications. With clear explanations and hands-on projects, it's a practical guide you'll keep coming back to.

No RTOS. No dynamic allocator. No hand-waving. Just bare-metal Rust on the nRF52840 — from first flash to interrupt-driven concurrency in 10 days, with buildable code for every chapter.

This third edition covers Rust 1.85 and the Rust 2024 Edition in full. The new chapters on concurrency, the 2024 edition migration, GPU computing, Go integration, and Linux kernel programming show where the Rust community has moved since the second edition, and where systems programming as a discipline is heading. You might be writing your first Rust function or your hundredth production service, but I hope this book makes the language feel less like a puzzle and more like a tool you are already familiar with. That was the only goal I had when I wrote it.

You have used a cross-compiler. But have you ever built one? This book takes you from first principles to a production-matched, containerised GCC and Clang toolchain — the hands-on deep-dive that the embedded Linux world has been missing.

A practical engineer’s guide to feedback, stability, PID tuning, and state space control—with real-world examples and Python simulations.

A 1986 text adventure game written inside the Cray I/O Subsystem turns out to be architecturally isomorphic to modern transformer design. This capstone volume uses the playable game and its assembly language source as a case study in constraint-based design, including the bare metal thinking we stopped teaching around 1995.

Most code generation is about saving time.This book is about eliminating entire categories of errors.Instead of writing code first, you define the system—its data, its flow, and its structure—and generate the implementation deterministically. No hidden behavior. No runtime frameworks. No guesswork.If you care about building systems that remain understandable years later, this approach changes how you think about software.

Device Mapper is the invisible engine behind LVM, LUKS, dm-verity, and thin provisioning — yet most engineers never look under the hood. This illustrated guide gives you the complete picture: from BIO remapping and mapping tables to real-world stacking patterns like LVM-on-LUKS and Android Verified Boot. 8 chapters, all visual, zero fluff.

If You’re Designing Edge Systems the Way Blog Posts Describe Them…You’re Already Behind.Most edge computing material sounds impressive—until you try to deploy it at scale.Then the failures show up: Latency explodes. State breaks. Control planes collapse. Security assumptions fail. Operations become unmanageable.That’s because edge computing is not a product category. It’s a large-scale distributed systems problem—with harsher constraints than the cloud.This book is written for people who actually have to make those systems work.

Most programmers never touch the machine.They live inside frameworks. They trust kernels. They inherit latency, abstraction, and hidden behavior they do not control.And they call that “systems programming.”Bare Metal Computing With X64 — Low Level Coding of Native Instructions is for the engineer who wants authority, not convenience

If you’ve ever wondered why your GPU code hits a wall long before the hardware’s limits, this book tells you why—and how to break through it.Most programmers stop where the compiler starts. They trust nvcc to make the right decisions, to manage registers, to schedule instructions, and to use memory efficiently. But the compiler doesn’t know your problem. It guesses. And in GPU computing, guessing costs performance.

Stop writing code that only works on your laptop.Your O(n²) sorting algorithm runs fine on an i9 processor. But on a Cortex-M4 with 2KB of RAM? It crashes the stack.AlgoEmbedded is the first textbook that stops teaching "Computer Science" and starts teaching Embedded Engineering. Learn how to adapt standard algorithms for the constraints of the real world.

Learn C the right way—clearly, compactly, and with complete examples. This book focuses on core concepts, practical code, and real program output, making it ideal for readers who value clarity over verbosity.
