This second edition isn't about complexity or rare scenarios, rather it's a focused journey for anyone ready to build, learn, and actually ship web applications in Go. I've included the lessons I wish I'd known my first month with Go, plus the methods and habits I still use today. Every step is designed to be actionable, so you can turn any concept into a feature.

Most embedded teams say they “avoid OOP” and “stick to C.” But look closely at real C codebases and you’ll find function-pointer tables, opaque handles, and generic device arrays—manual object models built the hard way. Beyond Blinky shows how to embrace that reality consciously, using modern C++ to design firmware that is readable, portable, and owned—without sacrificing performance or control. This book is about moving past the blinking LED mindset and designing embedded systems as living architectures, not scripts. To blinky and beyond—Let's make your IO sing!

Design Patterns in Modern Perl shows all 23 classic “Gang of Four” patterns implemented in real, runnable modern Perl. See each pattern in bless/Class::Mite, Moo, and class/Object::Pad, with tests and benchmarks you can run yourself. Use it as a practical handbook for designing, refactoring, and modernising serious Perl applications.

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.

You’ve seen design patterns in blog posts, but shipping them in PHP 8 under real deadlines is a different game. PHP Design Patterns: From the Trenches distills patterns I’ve used in production—things that survived late-night outages, noisy logs, and feature churn. You’ll get just enough theory to choose wisely, then straight into runnable, PSR-12 code for APIs, e-commerce flows, caching, logging, and auth. Every chapter shows the pattern in a realistic scenario, the traps I hit, the fixes that stuck, and how to test it before it bites you in prod. If you want patterns you can ship by Friday (not just admire), this book is for you.

In this book, you'll see that the book is designed with one main idea. It aims to give you the skills, confidence and understanding you need to build and deliver real Backend systems. Each chapter is designed to teach you everything you need to know to get hands-on with writing, configuring, deploying and troubleshooting your own projects. Right at the start, we got stuck into designing APIs and building backend systems. We didn't just stick to the basics, though. We went beyond that pretty quickly and started using modern protocols like gRPC and the key contract-first methods that are now the norm for scalable backend systems.

Ever wonder why things get harder over time? You were only taught half of coding. Learn the other half and reverse code rot.

This book is your ultimate roadmap to modern React.js interviews and standing out from the crowd.Built on 350+ real interview insights, it covers the exact topics top companies test—from security, accessibility, and performance to TypeScript, architecture, and deployment—so you can master every question with confidence and land the role you deserve.

Et si l'orienté-objet était très différent de ce qu'on nous enseigne ? Et s'il se cachait une réalité beaucoup plus profonde et beaucoup plus intéressante que seulement les notions de classes et d'héritage ? En fait, à y regarder de plus près, on risque même de se rendre compte que le paradigme objet n'a rien à voir avec ces deux notions, et même... qu'il est possible de faire de l'orienté-objet avec une approche fonctionnelle.

Your API deserves more than just working, it deserves to be exceptional.

Do you need to maintain an old Perl code-base written in OOP - Object Oriented Perl?Have your script outgrown itself and became an application that can benefit from better structure? In either case this book will help you make the best of Object Oriented Programming in Perl.
