Start with no experience and build the skills to write modern C++ with confidence. From your first program to advanced C++26 features and professional software design, this guide explains every step with clear examples and practical insights. Learn it once, keep it as a reference for years.

Build games that run almost anywhere with SDL3. This book starts with the basics and steadily moves into advanced graphics, audio, input, and application design using practical, real-world examples. Every chapter includes complete code you can compile and experiment with, helping you understand not just how SDL3 works, but how to use it to build fast, portable applications with confidence.

Learn how modern LLM inference engines work by building one from scratch in Rust. From transformers and tokenization to KV caching, quantization, batching, and GPU optimization, this book combines theory, hands-on code, and performance engineering to help you create fast, production-ready AI systems.

A best-selling book. The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production. 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.

Jetpack Compose is the future of Android UI. Master how it works internally and become a more efficient developer with it. You'll also find it valuable if you are not an Android dev. This book provides all the details to understand how the Compose compiler & runtime work, and how to create a client library using them. You could also be interested on the Jetpack Compose Internals course by Jorge Castillo. Find it in composeinternals.com

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.

Stop treating AI like a deterministic compiler and wondering why your codebase is degrading into hallucinated spaghetti code. Agentic Software Engineering provides the architecture, constraints, and rigorous governance needed to safely transition your team from manual typists to AI Orchestrators.

AI engineering is becoming one of the most valuable and in-demand areas of software development, and Python, LangChain, and LangGraph are core skills for building the systems behind it. Learn how to turn basic Python knowledge into production-grade backend and agentic AI applications—and move toward an engineering niche centered on building and controlling AI rather than competing with it.

All software design is composition: the act of breaking complex problems down into smaller problems and composing those solutions. Most developers have a limited understanding of compositional techniques. It's time for that to change.

This book aims to explain the concepts of Domain-driven Design in a way that it is easily applicable in practice. Each chapter contains a theoretical part which is explained from the point of view of practical applicability and then exercises with solutions based on a comprehensive, complex case study (real estate loans).

SIMD can make software dramatically faster, but getting it right takes more than knowing a few intrinsics. This book shows you how vectorization really works, how to avoid costly mistakes and how to turn ordinary code into fast, production-ready software with techniques you can use again and again.

Stop memorizing Git commands and learn how Git actually works. Git Mastery: From First Commit to Expert covers everything from version control basics to advanced workflows, debugging and Git internals with practical examples that help you collaborate with confidence and solve Git problems on your own.

Naming is one of the most difficult and enduring challenges in software engineering, but few of us do it well. This practical and comprehensive book provides a set of principles, rules, and application guidelines for efficiently choosing good names in your code.

Have you wondered what makes functional programming such a big deal, but haven't been able to get through any of the explanations? We wrote this book for you. Four years in the making! Phone-friendly: the code listings are easily readable without phone gymnastics. This is a small book—it took an enormous amount of effort to make it so! Also available as a Print Book.
