Residuality Theory is a new way to think about the design of software systems that explains why we experience design the way we do, why certain things seem to work only sporadically, and why certain architects get it right so often regardless of which tools they use. A new, scientific approach is defined that fuses Software Engineering, Complexity Science, and Philosophy to produce an entirely new way to think about how to design software. The result is a theoretical base that allows architecture to finally become its own discipline.

Across 30 chapters, you'll trace real code paths through nearly 400 CAS modules, learning the architecture decisions, design patterns, and implementation techniques that hold this massive system together. Whether you're a CAS contributor trying to fix a tricky bug, an architect evaluating CAS for your organization, or a Java developer who wants to study a mature, real-world Spring Boot application at scale — this book gives you the map. Written by a long-time CAS committer who has been involved since the original CAS 3.0 architecture, this book distills years of hard-won knowledge into a single, code-level reference.

This book covers every topic in the latest CISA exam syllabus, approaching topics from the ISACA perspective.

Developer platforms promise to rewrite the laws of IT physics: they boost innovation through standards; they speed up development while assuring compliance; and they reduce cognitive load without restricting choice. Building such an in-house platform, or even deploying one, is far from easy, though. This book condenses a decade of building and rolling out platforms into practical advice for platform teams and users.5300+ happy readers! Also as Paperback edition

The demand for skilled data science practitioners in industry, academia, and government is rapidly growing. This book introduces concepts from probability, statistical inference, linear regression and machine learning and R programming skills. Throughout the book we demonstrate how these can help you tackle real-world data analysis challenges.

Logic is the most important branch of math to software engineering. Knowing logic opens up a vast world of development techniques, from everyday tricks of the trade to exotic tools for cracking impossible tasks. This book teaches the basics of logic and nine special logic-powered techniques: property testing, decision tables, constraint solving, and more. Over 50 exercises are provided to help readers master the material. No prior math background required!
