Anyone can turn on SD-WAN. Far fewer can design it, migrate a live network onto it without an outage, steer voice and cloud traffic intelligently, prove it's secure to an auditor, and still sleep at night. SD-WAN Fundamentals follows one company through the whole journey — design, build, migrate, secure, operate — so you learn SD-WAN the way you'll actually use it: as a project, end to end.

Service meshes like Anthos Service Mesh and Istio are the backbone of modern cloud-native applications on GCP, but when things go wrong, troubleshooting can feel like navigating a maze blindfolded. Connection refusals, mTLS failures, routing misconfigurations, and latency spikes can cripple your system—and your sanity.

You shipped the demo. The model worked. Now production is coming, and the demo is not a system. An agentic system is a distributed-systems engineering problem — the reliability lives in the shell, not the model.

Discover the mathematics powering the future of Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity.Algebraic Foundations of AI: Groups, Rings, and Fields in Security & Cryptography reveals how abstract algebra forms the backbone of modern AI security, cryptographic systems, blockchain technologies, privacy-preserving machine learning, federated learning, and post-quantum cryptography.

Master DeepSeek V3 — one of the most capable AI models of its time.This practical guide teaches students, researchers, and professionals how to use DeepSeek V3 for learning, research, coding, content creation, automation, and productivity — with strong focus on prompt engineering and responsible AI usage.

You already know how to build a Spring Boot service. Controllers, services, repositories, tests—it’s muscle memory. But what happens when your product manager asks for “an AI assistant” instead of “another REST endpoint”?Spring Boot Meets AI shows you how to plug modern AI models into the Spring applications you’re already running, using Spring AI’s fluent clients and Boot starters. You’ll go from zero to “curlable” AI endpoints in a few lines of code, then build up to real features: chat, summarisation, data extraction into POJOs, RAG over your own docs, and AI workflows that can safely call your own Java code.No new language. No separate AI microservice nobody wants to maintain. Just Spring Boot, Spring AI, and a set of patterns you can take back to work on Monday

Building a chat feature over your product docs? You need a vector database.Adding recommendations to your app? Vector database.Searching 100 million images by visual similarity? Definitely a vector database.Yet most engineers stumble into these projects unprepared. They don't understand the trade-offs between IVF, HNSW, and Product Quantization. They pick the wrong similarity metric. They scale the wrong way.This book is the missing manual. It covers:The mathematics of embeddings and why they workHow to choose the right algorithm for your latency and accuracy constraintsDeep dives into Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, Qdrant, and ChromaBuilding production RAG systems that actually workIndustry case studies from Spotify to JPMorgan Chase20+ ready-to-run recipes for common scenarios

I wanted to understand how ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) really work, so I read a lot of books, watched YouTube videos, asked hundreds of questions, and wrote it all down. This book is the result. If you want to understand how large language models like ChatGPT actually work, from tokens and vectors to transformers and training, this book will explain it in a clear, approachable way.
