Books

  1. Jetpack Compose Mechanisms
    A dissection of what runs beneath every @Composable
    Jaewoong

    This book takes you straight into the Compose compiler, runtime, and UI layer, all about Compose performance tuning, reading the source line by line and explaining the why behind every design decision, then connecting each internal mechanism back to the code you write every day. With four in-depth chapters, 40+ original diagrams, dozens of "In Practice" sections, and "Pro Tips for Mastery" sidebars, it turns Compose from a set of APIs you memorize into a system you can reason about from first principles, debug with confidence, and optimize with intent. The Course: Jetpack Compose Mechanisms

  2. Not just for mathematicians and detectives! Learn the basics of logic and its many applications, including advanced testing, constraint solving, function composition, and code proofs. Over 50 exercises and 20 sample programs are included. No prior math background required!

  3. Agentic Engineering
    Designing Reliable Systems in the Age of AI
    Dr. Markus Nissl

    AI can write code faster than any human can review it. That changes the economics of engineering, but not what engineering is for. The bottleneck has moved from building to judging —and judgment cannot be prompt-engineered into a system designed for cheap proposals.

  4. Manifest Android Interview 한국어
    GDE의 노하우가 담긴 질문으로 학습하는 안드로이드 기술 면접 가이드
    Jaewoong

    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

  5. 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.

  6. The Object Oriented Way
    Christopher Okhravi (PhD)

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

  7. The Effective Software Engineer
    Ethics, Flow, and Organizational Intelligence in Modern Software Development
    Stefan Ellersdorfer

    What makes a software engineer truly effective? Beyond writing code, effectiveness comes from ethics, sustainable practices, collaboration, and the courage to adapt. The Effective Software Engineer guides you from clean coding habits to organizational empowerment, bridging the gap between developers and leaders.

  8. Retrieval-Augmented Generation
    An Engineer's Guide to Building RAG Systems with Your Own Data
    Jeroen Herczeg

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

  9. 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.

  10. Leading Effective Software Teams
    Systems Thinking for Engineering Managers
    Francisco Trindade

    As an engineering leader, you will never get to the bottom of the list by working faster. Learn to lead your team as a single system across product, engineering, and people.

  11. 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.

  12. Accelerated Linux Core Dump Analysis, Fourth Edition
    Training Course Transcript with GDB and WinDbg Practice Exercises
    Dmitry Vostokov

    Learn how to analyze x64 and ARM64 Linux process and kernel crashes and hangs, navigate through core memory dump space and diagnose corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and more than 50 memory analysis patterns. The training consists of more than 70 step-by-step exercises using GDB and WinDbg debuggers.

  13. 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.

  14. From Source Code To Machine Code
    Build Your Own Compiler From Scratch
    build-your-own.org

    Build a compiler to learn how programming languages work. Use low-level assembly to learn how computers work. Walks through a minimal yet complete compiler. Compiles a static-typed language into x64 ELF executables.Simple interpreter.Bytecode compiler.x64 assembly & instruction encoding.Translate bytecode to x64 code.Generate binary executables.

  15. Agentic Engineering
    From Execution to Orchestration
    Narayanan Jayaratchagan

    You have been using AI as a faster keyboard.The engineers who will define the next decade are using it as a cognitive workforce they direct, constrain, and govern. The gap between those two practices is not a matter of better prompts. It is a matter of an entirely different mental model.This book is that mental model. Built from first principles. Illustrated through 28 chapters of real architectural decisions, real failures, and real production systems.From execution to orchestration. The complete practitioner guide.
