What if AI didn’t just answer questions, but actually did the work? This book takes you from basic AI concepts to autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and act. No hype. No heavy math. Just clear explanations, real examples, and a builder’s mindset.
Before the Light examines a world that continues to function while losing its moral center. Through ethical and historical insight, it reveals why today’s instability is not collapse but exposure and why clarity, not comfort, is the responsibility of this moment.
This isn't theory from an academic—it's hard-won wisdom from someone who has lived every challenge in this book. ? WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR: - Senior engineers aspiring to CTO or VP Engineering roles- New CTOs (under 2 years) seeking a comprehensive playbook- Experienced CTOs wanting fresh frameworks and validation- Technical founders wearing the CTO hat- Engineering managers planning their executive path
You’ve seen design patterns in blog posts, but shipping them in PHP 8 under real deadlines is a different game. PHP Design Patterns: From the Trenches distills patterns I’ve used in production—things that survived late-night outages, noisy logs, and feature churn. You’ll get just enough theory to choose wisely, then straight into runnable, PSR-12 code for APIs, e-commerce flows, caching, logging, and auth. Every chapter shows the pattern in a realistic scenario, the traps I hit, the fixes that stuck, and how to test it before it bites you in prod. If you want patterns you can ship by Friday (not just admire), this book is for you.
Stop building toy APIs. Learn how to design, structure, validate, test, and deploy real backend applications using Python and FastAPI — step by step, from zero to production-ready.
Stress is unavoidable. Failure is part of the system. Resilient by Design shows how to recover faster, stay stable under pressure, and keep going when things hit hard, without burnout clichés or motivational noise.
Where did modern computing really come from? Not from garages in California, but from bootleggers, codebreakers, and Cold War air‑defense engineers. This book reveals a lineage that almost no computing history traces: Prohibition‑era encrypted radio → Elizebeth & William Friedman → OP‑20‑G → MIT Whirlwind → SAGE → Engineering Research Associates → Control Data → Seymour Cray. From Capone’s smugglers to Cray’s supercomputers, the story of U.S. large‑scale computing is a straight line, just one that has been forgotten. Combining deep historical research with firsthand experience from the CRAY‑1 era, this book shows how cryptology, radar, and national‑security urgency created the machines that defined modern computing. If you think you know the origins of the computer revolution, this book will change your mind.
