  1. Unity for Software Engineers
    Unity for Software Engineers
    Mastering Game Development with Rigor and Best Practices (Early Access)
    Eyas Sharaiha

    Master the Unity Engine without the fluff of beginner tutorials.

  2. You Don't Know JSON
    You Don't Know JSON
    Beyond Six Data Types: The Complete Ecosystem
    Dayna Blackwell

    JSON succeeded not because it was better--XML had schemas, namespaces, and 10 years of tooling, but because it understood modularity in ways XML never could. This book deconstructs how a deliberately incomplete format defeated a comprehensive standard, then shows you the production patterns (JSON Schema, JSONB, MessagePack, versioning strategies) that make JSON systems scale from prototype to billions of requests.

  3. PHP Design Patterns: From The Tranches
    PHP Design Patterns: From The Tranches
    Real-World Experience and Practical Applications
    Kayvan Ali Mohammadi

    You’ve seen design patterns in blog posts, but shipping them in PHP 8 under real deadlines is a different game. PHP Design Patterns: From the Trenches distills patterns I’ve used in production—things that survived late-night outages, noisy logs, and feature churn. You’ll get just enough theory to choose wisely, then straight into runnable, PSR-12 code for APIs, e-commerce flows, caching, logging, and auth. Every chapter shows the pattern in a realistic scenario, the traps I hit, the fixes that stuck, and how to test it before it bites you in prod. If you want patterns you can ship by Friday (not just admire), this book is for you.

    BehindTheStack — A Evolução da Arquitetura da Netflix
    Da sobrevivência do monólito à escala global (Early Access)
    Raphael Silva Fontes

    Pare de copiar padrões de design sem entender os problemas que os criaram. A arquitetura da Netflix não foi desenhada em um quadro branco; ela foi forjada por falhas críticas. Neste livro, mergulhamos nos bastidores técnicos da maior plataforma de streaming do mundo para entender os trade-offs reais por trás dos microsserviços, da resiliência e da escala global. Fugindo do "hype" e focando na engenharia, BehindTheStack disseca como o monólito foi quebrado, como a persistência de dados evoluiu e como a cultura de liberdade e responsabilidade moldou o código. Escrito para Arquitetos, Tech Leads e Engenheiros Sêniores que buscam profundidade além dos tutoriais rasos. Adquira a versão Early Access e acompanhe a escrita deste manual de sobrevivência em escala.

  13. Time To Market
    Time To Market
    Speeding things up for faster ROI
    Stephan Schmidt

    Everyone blames development for being slow. But what if the real bottleneck isn't your engineering team at all? After 25 years as an engineering manager and CTO, and 8 years coaching technology leaders through their biggest challenges, Stephan Schmidt has discovered an uncomfortable truth: you can squeeze out 10-20% by optimizing development, but you'll never reach the next level that way.  The real lever? Decisions. Meetings. The six months an idea bounces around before anyone writes a line of code.  This mini-book shows you how to measure and optimize the entire journey from idea to revenue—not just the coding part. You'll learn 10 practical rules to slash time to market, including how to build a decision culture that doesn't stall, why working in parallel actually slows you down, and how understanding MVP stages can free up development capacity.  Stop blaming your developers. Start fixing what actually matters.
