  1. Creating AI Agents with MCP - Model Context Protocol
    Part of the series, "The Only Book You'll Need On..."
    Lydia Evelyn and Bruce Hopkins

    Get started quickly, creating applications for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) using the official MCP SDKs for Python, Java 21, and Node.js. Quickly master, all of the concepts needed in order to build MCP servers, including transport protocols, tools, resources, prompts, roots, and sampling. Learn how to get familiar with popular MCP client applications such as, Claude Desktop, Postman, and the MCP Inspector.

  2. Jetpack Compose is the future of Android UI. Master how it works internally and become a more efficient developer with it. You'll also find it valuable if you are not an Android dev. This book provides all the details to understand how the Compose compiler & runtime work, and how to create a client library using them.

  3. On Java 8
    Bruce Eckel

    By the author of "Thinking in Java," covering version 8 of the Java programming language (with updates to Java 17). Intended for “dedicated beginners,” it doesn’t assume you know anything about programming and takes you through the material step-by-step. However, I assume you are able to figure things out. It’s not a “dummies” or “idiot’s” guide.

  4. O Jetpack Compose é o futuro da UI do Android. Domine como ele funciona internamente e torne-se um desenvolvedor mais eficiente com ele. Você também achará útil mesmo se não for um desenvolvedor Android. Este livro fornece todos os detalhes para entender como o Compose compiler e o runtime funcionam, e como criar uma biblioteca cliente usando-os.

  5. High-Performance Java Persistence
    Get the most out of your persistence layer
    Vlad Mihalcea

    A high-performance data access layer must resonate with the underlying database system. Knowing the inner workings of a relational database and the data access frameworks in use can make the difference between a high-performance enterprise application and one that barely crawls.

  6. Beyond diagrams
    Capture your thoughts in diagrams, generate documentation, make them executable
    Pavel Vlasov

    Go beyond pixel-deep diagrams - generate documentation sites, make them executable, map to your problem domain, federate into a web of diagrams

  7. Advanced Kotlin
    Marcin Moskała

    The book about advanced Kotlin features most of us use, but nearly nobody understands, like variance modifiers, property delegation, interface delegation, contracts, multiplatform development, annotation processing, KSP, compiler plugins, and static analyzers.

  8. Stratospheric
    From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS
    Tom Hombergs, Björn Wilmsmann, and Philip Riecks

    From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS. All you need to know to get a Spring Boot application into production with AWS. No previous AWS knowledge required. Go to stratospheric.dev for a tour of the contents. (Spanish translation of Stratospheric)

  9. DDD with Spring Boot
    Implementing Robust, Scalable Applications Using Strategic and Tactical DDD Patterns
    Enrique Medina Montenegro

    Ready to conquer software complexity? This book provides a practical introduction to Domain-Driven Design with Spring Boot, giving you the essential patterns to start building more robust and business-aligned applications. It's your clear starting point for applying DDD principles without getting bogged down in theory.

  10. Spring Boot Microservices in Production
    A comprehensive guide to building, deploying, and scaling resilient distributed systems with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
    Enrique Medina Montenegro

    Build bulletproof Spring Boot microservices—from monolith migration to domain-driven design and event-driven patterns—while mastering the production essentials of resilience, observability, and zero‑downtime delivery. Turn complex domains into clean, scalable services with bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories, and domain events, then ship faster with rate‑limited APIs, backoff‑retries, and Kubernetes rollouts. If leading Java teams to reliable, cloud‑ready microservices is the goal, this is the hands‑on guide that gets systems into production with confidence.

  11. Build. Deploy. Scale.Take your Java skills to the cloud-native level with Hands-On Java with Kubernetes. From your first Spring Boot or Quarkus app to production-ready deployments with CI/CD, observability, and service mesh—you’ll learn by doing, not just reading. Ideal for developers who want to master Kubernetes without getting bogged down in YAML configuration.

  12. Reactive Spring
    (v1.5)
    Josh Long

    Join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) for an introduction to reactive programming and its implementation in the Spring ecosystem.

  13. Java Backend Coding Technology
    Less art, more engineering
    Sergiy Yevtushenko

    Stop debating code style. Start engineering code. Every developer brings personal preferences. Every AI tool channels different training examples. The result? Inconsistent codebases, endless code reviews, and technical debt that compounds silently. Java Backend Coding Technology introduces a radical idea: reduce the space of valid choices until there's essentially one good way to do most things. Not through rigid frameworks, but through a small set of patterns that make structure predictable, refactoring mechanical, and business logic visible. The code you write, your teammate writes, and your AI assistant generates will look the same -- because the patterns leave no room for subjective variation.

  14. Elegant Design Principles
    Foundations of Software Design Mastery
    Narayanan Jayaratchagan

    Elegant Design Principles distils decades of design wisdom into 95 actionable principles spanning core OO, SOLID/GRASP, package design, reliability and a forward‑looking AI‑first approach. Explore the Design Pyramid to understand how quality attributes, smells and principles interconnect; learn to manage complexity through high cohesion, low coupling and clear abstractions; and adopt modern practices like test‑driven development and semantic modularity. From novices seeking a roadmap to experts embracing AI‑assisted workflows, this book equips you to create systems that are robust, maintainable and elegant—today and in the AI‑driven future.

  15. Build AI Applications with Spring AI
    RAG, MCP and Agents with Spring AI 1.1
    Fu Cheng

    Create AI applications using Spring AI, RAG, MCP and Agents
