  1. Agentic Observability for AI Agents
    Agentic Observability for AI Agents
    Runtime Evidence, Evaluation, Reliability, and Governed Operations for Production Systems
    Srinivas Bommena

    Move from observing AI agents to operating them through runtime evidence, evaluation, economics, reliability, and governed action.This practitioner-focused book develops an architecture for production AI systems where traces, evaluations, safety signals, cost, business outcomes, and operational authority become part of one evidence model.

  2. Practical Agentic Reverse Engineering
    Practical Agentic Reverse Engineering
    Binaries, Electron, Android and the Web with REA and Ghidra
    Ground Truth Books

    A short, hands-on guide to reverse engineering with AI agents and REA 6.4.0: drive Ghidra from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, check every claim against evidence, and work through native, Electron, Android, .NET and web targets you are allowed to analyse. Every output shown is a real lab run.

  3. The Complete Beginner's Guide to Building Agentic AI
    The Complete Beginner's Guide to Building Agentic AI
    A Step-by-Step Roadmap from Fundamentals to Real-World Applications
    Steve Publications

    Curious about agentic AI but not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly guide takes you from the basics to building your own AI agents, even if you have no coding experience. Learn how agents work, choose the right tools and turn your ideas into practical, reliable solutions for real-world problems.

  4. Crash-Proof AI Agents
    Crash-Proof AI Agents
    Durable Execution for LLM Agents, Tested in the Lab
    Ground Truth Books

    Kill an AI agent mid-refund and the retry bills every model call again and refunds twice. This book crashes one agent on purpose and recovers it on DBOS, Temporal, Restate and Prefect, with the real output of every run.

  5. Vibe Coding A Visual Guide
    Vibe Coding A Visual Guide
    Prompt, Context, Harness, and Loop
    Reiner Braun

    Learn how Prompt, Context, Harness, and Loop turn AI-generated code into reviewable engineering work. Visual explanations cover task framing, trustworthy context, safe tools, independent verification, and controlled iteration.

  6. C++ A Visual Guide
    C++ A Visual Guide
    Essential Fundamentals for Systems Engineers
    Reiner Braun

    Learn the C++ fundamentals that connect source code, memory, ownership, build tools, and operating-system boundaries. Clear diagrams and small examples guide you toward reading, testing, and diagnosing systems-oriented programs.

  7. AI Driven Development A Complete Visual Guide
    AI Driven Development A Complete Visual Guide
    From Core Concepts to Secure Production Workflows
    Reiner Braun

    Use AI-assisted engineering from core concepts to secure production workflows. Visual explanations and a continuing FleetOps case study connect context design, coding, testing, delivery, operations, and bounded agents with practical verification and human accountability.

  8. Auditable LLM Pipelines
    Auditable LLM Pipelines
    A case study in tracing, fallbacks, and honest evaluation
    Ground Truth Books

    Your LLM pipeline passed every check, and a fallback model still served 50 of its 71 successful calls. This case study follows one real multi-stage pipeline through its failures and shows how to make each stage traceable, attributable and honestly measured.

  9. Guide to Decision Models
    Guide to Decision Models
    What the "JEV-like" family is, how it is used, and how to run, deploy, and train local variants
    Ground Truth Books

    Decision models answer a typed question with a calibrated probability in one forward pass: no token stream, no parsing, no values outside your schema. This guide explains TypeSafe's Jev and the open "JEV-like" family, then shows how to choose, run, serve, fine-tune and evaluate local variants on your own hardware.

  10. Migrating to Polars 2
    Migrating to Polars 2
    What breaks silently between 1.x and 2.0, shown with real runs under both versions
    Ground Truth Books

    Polars 2.0 changed defaults that don't raise errors: lazy queries now stream, and joins no longer keep row order. This short guide shows exactly what breaks when you upgrade from 1.x, with every example run under both 1.44.2 and 2.0.0 and the real output printed side by side.

  11. Platform Engineering in Practice
    Platform Engineering in Practice
    Build internal Developer Platform from Empty Clusters to Self-Service Delivery, Observability, and AI-Assisted Operations
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    We will define the developer contract first, and we will then build the platform underneath it together, step by step, using decisions that hold up in regulated environments and in small startups alike. Along the way, we will provision clusters, wire delivery, publish a developer API, enforce policy and ship observability, and we will do all of it where you can see every command, every manifest and every failure. Nothing here stays theoretical, because platform problems only show their true shape where an abstraction meets a real cluster.

  12. The AI Dev Playbook: Ready-to-Use Prompts & Full-Stack System Rules
    The AI Dev Playbook: Ready-to-Use Prompts & Full-Stack System Rules
    Production-Grade AI Prompts, System Rules & Architectural Manual
    Abdalla Taher

    The battle-tested prompt framework and architectural system rules to turn any AI coding assistant into a principal full-stack engineer.
