Books

  1. Logic for Programmers

    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!

  2. Claude Code: From Basics to Mastery
    Claude Code: From Basics to Mastery
    The Complete Guide to Agentic Software Development in 2026
    Steve Publications

    Software development is changing fast, and Claude Code is at the center of that shift. Learn how to work effectively with AI agents to write code, automate workflows, and build larger projects with confidence. From setup and prompt design to real-world engineering practices, this book provides a practical guide to modern software development in 2026.

  3. Agentic Programming
    Agentic Programming
    From Prompts to Production: A Path to Al Fluency
    Jerod W. Wilkerson

    The most important impact of AI on software development isn't that it writes code faster — it's that it changes what you can delegate. Agentic Programming is a practical roadmap for climbing the AI Fluency Ladder: from prompting to agentic workflows, verified execution, and ultimately autonomous software development.

  4. Residues: Time, Change, and Uncertainty in Software Architecture.

    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.

  5. Claude Code Handbook for Software Engineers
    Claude Code Handbook for Software Engineers
    An Engineering Reference for Agentic Development
    Steve Publications

    Go beyond the basics of Claude Code with a practical engineering reference built for real-world development. Explore architecture, workflows, security, team adoption and advanced agentic patterns, with concrete commands and working examples throughout. Learn how to use Claude Code effectively, reliably and safely in professional software projects.

  6. Claude Code: Building Production Agents That Actually Scale
    Claude Code: Building Production Agents That Actually Scale
    Build, Evaluate, Secure, and Operate Production AI Agents with Claude Code, MCP, Hooks, and the Claude Agent SDK
    Thomas De Vos

    The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production: hooks, permissions, MCP, the Claude Agent SDK, evals and cost control for agents that run under real load. Thirty-one chapters covering the agent loop, tools, hooks, MCP, the Claude Agent SDK, permissions, multi-agent orchestration, evals, observability, and cost engineering. Includes a full walkthrough of Anthropic's financial services reference agents. Code from real production systems, not toy examples.

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

  8. Building AI Agents with the Claude Agent SDK
    Building AI Agents with the Claude Agent SDK
    From Fundamentals to Production Deployments
    Steve Publications

    Build AI agents that do more than generate text. This book shows you how to use the Claude Agent SDK to create autonomous systems that use tools, manage context, coordinate multiple agents, and solve complex tasks. With practical examples in Python and TypeScript, you will learn how to build secure, scalable agents ready for production.

  9. Claude Code for Legacy Modernization
    Claude Code for Legacy Modernization
    Recover Hidden Business Rules, Build a Verification Harness, and Modernize Critical Systems Without Breaking Production
    Thomas De Vos

    Legacy modernization is an evidence problem before it is a code-generation problem. Use Claude Code to recover hidden behavior, build a verification harness, and move critical systems in controlled, reversible slices without handing production decisions to AI. Includes 26 practical chapters, 86 diagrams, and a runnable companion lab.

  10. The C++ Interview Book
    The C++ Interview Book
    173 questions, from foundations to C++26
    Sandor Dargo

    173 C++ interview questions. Junior to Senior. auto to C++26. Every question has follow-ups, code samples, and cross-references. A 100-day study plan with spaced repetition gets you through them all. A code-reading capstone sharpens your skills under pressure. Not just the answers — the reasoning that survives the follow-up questions.

  11. Build Your Own Coding Agent
    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.

  12. AI Engineering From Scratch
    AI Engineering From Scratch
    The Complete Guide to Understanding, Building and Deploying Production-Ready AI Systems
    Steve Publications

    Ready to build AI systems that work beyond the demo? This book takes you from the fundamentals to production-ready AI, covering everything from neural networks and LLMs to RAG, agents, optimization and deployment.
