Books

  1. The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production. Thirty chapters covering the agent loop, tools, hooks, MCP, permissions, evals, observability, and cost engineering for AI agents that actually scale.

  2. Build Your Own Coding Agent
    The Zero-Magic Guide to AI Agents in Pure Python
    J. Owen

    Skip the black-box frameworks. Build a production-grade AI coding agent from scratch in pure Python - cloud or local, tested with pytest, all in a single file.

  3. Becoming a Harness-Driven Developer
    Building Reliable Systems in the Age of AI-Generated Code
    Miloš Kecman

    AI can generate code faster than ever. But speed is no longer the hardest part of software development.The real challenge is building systems where generated code remains correct, controlled, and aligned with architectural intent. Becoming a Harness-Driven Developer introduces a new development model for the age of AI-assisted engineering - one where developers focus less on writing every line by hand and more on defining the rules, structure, and enforcement mechanisms within which AI code agents operate.Through a practical repository mapped directly to the book’s chapters, this book shows how to move from ad hoc coding to a harness-driven approach based on specification, architecture, invariants, controlled execution, and system evolution. This is a book about staying in control while software development changes.

  4. Understanding Eventsourcing
    Planning and Implementing scalable Systems with Eventmodeling and Eventsourcing
    Martin Dilger

    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

  5. Logic is the most important branch of math to software engineering. Knowing logic opens up a vast world of development techniques, from everyday tricks of the trade to exotic tools for cracking impossible tasks. This book teaches the basics of logic and nine special logic-powered techniques: property testing, decision tables, constraint solving, and more. Over 50 exercises are provided to help readers master the material. No prior math background required!

  6. Why We Still Suck At Resilience
    Organizational Dynamics
    Adrian Hornsby

    Your organization does all the right things. They practice chaos engineering, GameDays, and load testing. They conduct incident reviews and operational readiness reviews. Yet the same types of incidents keep recurring. This book examines why resilience practices so often fail to build resilience, revealing the organizational dynamics that systematically transform learning mechanisms into compliance theater and what you can do to navigate them consciously.

  7. Codex CLI
    Agentic Engineering from First Principles
    Daniel Vaughan

    The definitive guide to agentic software engineering with Codex CLI, from prompting fundamentals to multi-agent orchestration, CI/CD integration, and enterprise deployment across 32 hands-on chapters.

  8. The Sovereign Engineer
    AI Literacy for Software Professionals
    Russ Miles

    AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

  9. The Object Oriented Way
    Christopher Okhravi (PhD)

    The Few Simple Ideas Behind Every Object Oriented Pattern and Principle.

  10. 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.

  11. Manifest Android Interview
    The ultimate guide to cracking Android technical interviews
    Jaewoong

    To ace your next Android job interview, focus on truly understanding the concepts, not just memorizing answers, and practicing how to apply them. With 108 interview questions, 162 additional practical questions, and 50+ pro tips, this book helps you sharpen skills, understand the why, and prepare for real-world technical challenges.

  14. 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.

  15. Practical Kotlin Deep Dive 한국어
    코틀린의 기초 원리와 언어 철학을 넘어 내부 동작까지 ‘How’와 ‘Why’를 탐구하는 기술 가이드
    Jaewoong

    본 책은 단순히 “코틀린을 어떻게 사용하는가”를 넘어, “코틀린이 실제로 어떻게 동작하는가”까지 안내합니다. 내부 구현을 들여다보고, 바이트코드와 컴파일러의 동작을 명확히 탐구하며, 언어를 형성하는 핵심 내부 구조를 파헤칩니다. 기초 문법부터 코루틴, 컴파일러에 이르기까지 더 깊이 이해하고, 더 자신 있게 코틀린 코드를 작성하고 싶은 분들께는 좋은 지침서가 될 것입니다. 특히, 우리가 일상에서 친숙하게 사용하던 모든 언어적인 형태가 왜 지금과 같은 형태로 설계되었는지를 탐구하며 사고의 깊이를 더할 수 있습니다.
