Java has changed. Have your patterns kept up?The Gang of Four wrote their landmark patterns in 1994 — when Java didn't exist, generics were a decade away, and "concurrency" meant carefully managing a handful of platform threads. Thirty years later, Java 21 through 25 has transformed the language: records replace boilerplate classes, sealed interfaces model closed type hierarchies with compiler enforcement, pattern matching eliminates entire categories of unsafe casting, and virtual threads make a million concurrent tasks not just possible but routine.Modern Java Design Patterns bridges that gap. Every classic pattern is shown first in its original form, then systematically rebuilt with the language features that exist today. The result is code that is shorter, safer, more expressive, and immediately recognisable to any team working on a modern Java codebase.

This is the story of Microsoft Windows, but told in a different way and from a different perspective. It is the story of the aspirations that Microsoft had for the platform over time. Object-Oriented Programming in the era of “Cairo.” The brief moment when the .NET craze engulfed the company. The touch-first mania of Windows 8. And so much more.

The loop writes code and clears context. The commit log records MAX_RETRIES = 3, but the reason it's three vanished on Friday night. The artifact survived; the decision evaporated.The Loop That Remembers inverts the premise: memory isn't the sixth piece, it's what the loop exists to produce. Two graphs, a promoted lattice, bounded context, and an evaluator checking claims against edges.

I wrote this book to show exactly what happens when you add Rust to the kernel. Not as a toy. Not as a single driver in a conference demo. It's a full module that covers process management, memory allocation, file systems, networking, device drivers, inter-process communication, and even machine learning inference. It's all built on safe abstractions, all compiled into one loadable binary, all tested on a running kernel. You'll find that each chapter adds new source files to the same module.

AI engines are booming, and the more we work with agentic systems, the more we see that we need something to make them work at the enterprise level. We're quite active in exploring ideas around context graphs, decision traces, and supporting explainability—giving agents the ability to make more aware and company-aligned decisions.But this makes sense not only for enterprises, but for users and individuals building personal agents as well. Unfortunately, we have zero-to-none inclination on how to actually build a context graph.I'll try to explain how to build something like a context graph—but go beyond it. I deeply believe that to make this work, we need specific agentic memory and a set of cognitive processes that truly help agents use this memory and learn from experience and data.That's why this is the Book: Beyond Context Graphs—with a focus on real-life enterprise tasks and how to make agents make better decisions and, let's say, hallucinate less.

Prompting is a design problem, not a syntax problem. Prompt Patterns introduces durable patterns for reliable work with large language models.

This book explores supervised machine learning for scientific research, addressing its limitations in interpretability, causality, and uncertainty quantification. By unifying philosophical justification with practical solutions, it provides a roadmap for turning machine learning into a rigorous tool for science.

Learn the fundamentals of HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript for building data visualisations on the web. Ideal if you're wanting to learn D3.js or you use Python and/or R and wish to get started with HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript. Straight to the point with lots of code examples.

A good software architecture should keep the cost of development low over the complete lifetime of an application. This book discusses how the Hexagonal Architecture style tries to fulfill this goal and translates the concepts into actual code to provide inspiration for software developers.
