Books

Most architecture books teach you how to design systems. This one teaches you how to become the person who designs them. This book covers everything the job actually requires: the mindset, the technical depth, the decisions, and the organizational and human dimensions that no purely technical book addresses.

Ein Coding-Agent liefert in Sekunden makellosen Code, mittendrin eine Funktion, die es nie gab: Halluzinations-Lasagne. Claude Shannons verrauschter Kanal von 1948 erklärt, warum plausible Ausgaben nicht verlässlich sind, und wie ein geschärfter Sender, ein beherrschter Kanal und ein prüfender Empfänger daraus verlässliche Software machen.

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.

The engineer's guide to RAG systems that survive a deploy.

Learn Next.js by building a real AI-powered application, from project setup to production deployment. This book covers the complete journey: TypeScript, React, Next.js App Router, Prisma, authentication, the Vercel AI SDK (chat, RAG, tool calling), testing, security, and deployment. One project, 29 chapters, no toy demos.

This book provides an introduction to the high-level concepts behind query engines and walks through all aspects of building a fully working SQL query engine in Kotlin.

Чому проєкт-цукерочка через рік перетворюється на непідтримуване пекло? Тому що вас ніколи не вчили базі. Ця книга — єдина система координат, яка нарешті збере ваші розрізнені знання про ООП, GRASP, SOLID та GoF в одну цілісну картину.

All software design is composition: the act of breaking complex problems down into smaller problems and composing those solutions. Most developers have a limited understanding of compositional techniques. It's time for that to change.

This book aims to explain the concepts of Domain-driven Design in a way that it is easily applicable in practice. Each chapter contains a theoretical part which is explained from the point of view of practical applicability and then exercises with solutions based on a comprehensive, complex case study (real estate loans).

Naming is one of the most difficult and enduring challenges in software engineering, but few of us do it well. This practical and comprehensive book provides a set of principles, rules, and application guidelines for efficiently choosing good names in your code.

Learn how to design embedded systems the sane way: on your Linux host, with modern C++, predictable timing, clean interfaces, and no unnecessary complexity.

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.

The “perfect architecture” is a myth. The adaptable enterprise wins. Learn how to design evolutionary systems, quantify technical debt, and align engineering with business ROI.

What actually happens after you click Login? Beyond the screen, beyond the redirects, beyond the success message, enterprise Single Sign-On reveals its true complexity. Beyond the Login Screen exposes the real mechanics of SSO—HTTP calls, cookies, tokens, and protocol exchanges—across Spring Boot, Keycloak, and Azure Entra ID. This book is for professionals who need more than configurations: it is for those who must understand identity deeply, troubleshoot decisively, and deliver reliable authentication experiences when it matters most.

“Happily purchased. Handy to have these in one place. Thank you!” — Kent Beck “Excellent new thinking on Domain-Driven Design. It's full of real practical experience in getting the most value from domain modelling. Just like the Eric Evans' DDD book, this gives more insight each time you read it.” — Ian Russell
