The first thing many people hit with an AI coding assistant is a plateau. A correction made on Monday is gone by Thursday. This book is about the operating model above the prompt, where truth lives, how a correction becomes a standing rule that holds, and which judgments stay in human hands.

Go from your first SQL query to solving real database problems with confidence. This hands-on guide covers everything from SQL fundamentals and data analysis to advanced queries, optimization and production best practices, with practical examples that work across today’s major database systems.

Advanced Rust Programming goes beneath Rust’s safe surface to reveal the machinery that makes high-performance systems possible. Explore unsafe contracts, atomics, async internals, FFI, allocators and more through practical examples that sharpen your instincts and help you build faster, safer production-grade software.

Cloud networks rarely fail in obvious ways. A DNS lookup breaks, a route disappears or traffic vanishes somewhere between clouds. This book shows you how to understand what is really happening, build networks that hold up under pressure and troubleshoot failures with confidence across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes and hybrid environments.

Take control of your development stack from the ground up. This book shows you how to build and run your own Git hosting, CI/CD and engineering platform, from a single server to infrastructure built for thousands. Learn how the pieces fit together, why key decisions matter and where the trade-offs really are.

Master LTX 2.5 from the first prompt to the final shot. Learn to create cinematic video with synchronized audio, precise camera movement and consistent characters while avoiding the mistakes that waste time and generations. Built on official documentation and verified behavior, this is a practical guide to getting production-ready results from LTX 2.5.

AI coding agents can move fast, but speed without clear intent creates expensive mistakes. This practical guide shows how Behavior-Driven Development turns specifications into a reliable contract between you and autonomous coding systems, helping agents build the right thing, catch problems earlier and produce software you can trust.

AI agents don’t fail because they forget everything. They fail because they remember badly. This book shows you how to engineer memory that stays accurate, efficient and useful over time. From SQLite and PostgreSQL to vector indexes and multi-agent systems, you’ll learn what it takes to build agents that can run for days without losing the plot.

Learn how to design and build production-ready RAG and GenAI systems—from retrieval fundamentals and evaluation to agents, observability, security, and end-to-end architecture.

Whether you're writing your first line of code or building production-ready applications, this book gives you the skills to succeed with C#. Learn through practical examples, real projects and proven techniques used by professional developers. Build a strong foundation and grow into a confident C# programmer.

Learn modern C++23 from the ground up with clear explanations and complete, compilable examples. From your first program to advanced topics like concurrency, metaprogramming and performance optimization, this book gives you the skills to write fast, reliable and professional-quality C++ software.

Most Bash scripts start small but end up running critical systems. This book shows you how to write shell scripts that are portable, secure, and reliable across Linux distributions. From fundamental scripting techniques to production-ready patterns, you will learn how to build automation that handles errors gracefully, avoids common pitfalls and remains easy to maintain as it grows.

Discover the power of Nim, a language that combines Python's simplicity with C-level performance. Through practical examples and real-world projects, this book will help you master Nim and build fast, reliable, production-quality software.

Go beyond simple chatbots and build production-ready AI agents with LlamaIndex. Through practical projects and working Python code, you will learn to design reliable systems with retrieval, workflows, multi-agent architectures, observability, and deployment techniques for real-world applications.

Go beyond the NTFS API and learn how the filesystem really works. This book explains NTFS from its on-disk structures to a complete working implementation, giving you the knowledge to understand and build one of the world's most sophisticated filesystems.
