Residuality Theory is a new way to think about the design of software systems that explains why we experience design the way we do, why certain things seem to work only sporadically, and why certain architects get it right so often regardless of which tools they use. A new, scientific approach is defined that fuses Software Engineering, Complexity Science, and Philosophy to produce an entirely new way to think about how to design software. The result is a theoretical base that allows architecture to finally become its own discipline.

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.

Developer platforms promise to rewrite the laws of IT physics: they boost innovation through standards; they speed up development while assuring compliance; and they reduce cognitive load without restricting choice. Building such an in-house platform, or even deploying one, is far from easy, though. This book condenses a decade of building and rolling out platforms into practical advice for platform teams and users.5300+ happy readers! Also as Paperback edition

An introduction to philosophy for software engineers and architects that will help them understand their design process. This book helps to answer the question “Why are we like this?”.

The first book to combine Eventmodeling & Eventsourcing to plan software systems of any size and complexity. NEW CHAPTER "Dynamic Consistency Boundary" COMPANION ONLINE COURSE FOR FASTER LEARNING

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!

Learn databases from the bottom up by coding your own, in small steps, and with simple Go code (language agnostic).Atomicity & durability. A DB is more than files!Persist data with fsync.Crash recovery.KV store based on B-tree.Disk-based data structures.Space management with a free list.Relational DB on top of KV.Learn how tables and indexes are related to B-trees.SQL-like query language; parser & interpreter.Concurrent transactions with copy-on-write data structures.

A developer-friendly, practical and pragmatic guide to lightweight software architecture, technical leadership and the balance with agility.

LLMs und Agentic AI sind derzeit Hype. Richtig angewendet können sie extreme positive Effekte bringen. Dieses Buch zeigt, vor welchen Herausforderungen man in großen Unternehmen und speziell auch in regulierten Umfeldern bei der Einführung stehen wird. Das Buch ist eine leicht lesbare Einführung für IT-nahe Führungskräfte und Enterprise Architekten und auch nützlich für IT-Profis allgemein, die in das Thema einsteigen möchten und absehbare Projektfehler vermeiden möchten

This series of test-driven small coding puzzles lets you code a database from scratch (no dependencies).We'll cover KV storage engines, LSM-Tree indexes, SQL, concurrent transactions, ACID, etc.

Takes you from “how to use Kotlin” into “how Kotlin really works,” revealing the internal implementations, desmifying bytecodes and compiler behavior, and internals that shape the language. If you want to write smarter, more confident Kotlin across fundamentals, coroutines, and multiplatform, this is the book that shows you why everything is the way it is.

안드로이드 기술 면접에서 좋은 결과를 얻으려면 단순히 답을 외우는 것이 아니라, 개념을 올바르게 이해하고 실전에 적용해 보는 연습이 중요합니다. 이 책에서 다루는 108개의 면접 질문, 162개의 추가적인 실전 질문, 50개 이상의 Pro Tips를 통해 기술적 배경과 논리를 향상시킴으로써 실제 기술 면접의 대비뿐만 아니라, 안드로이드 생태계의 전반적인 지식을 학습하는데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 하드커버 에디션 (영문) | 페이퍼백 에디션 (영문) ISBN: 979-8285926436

Les plateformes pour le développement promettent de réécrire les lois de la physique informatique : elles stimulent l'innovation grâce à des normes, elles accélèrent le développement tout en garantissant la conformité et elles réduisent la charge cognitive sans restreindre le choix. Construire une telle plateforme en interne, ou même en déployer une, est cependant loin d'être facile. Ce livre condense une décennie de construction et de déploiement de plateformes en conseils pratiques pour les équipes et les utilisateurs de plateformes.

Build real-world software by coding a Redis server from scratch.Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.From scratch. A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!

Most enterprises can deliver fast, but few can adapt at scale.The Cybernetic Enterprise introduces a unifying operating model that embeds AI, feedback loops, and platform thinking into the DNA of your organization. Learn how to build a system that senses change, learns continuously, and transforms disruption into strategic advantage.
