Everything you really need to know in Machine Learning in a hundred pages.

CCDE Design Labs – Volume I challenges you with realistic, scenario-driven network design problems inspired by the complexity and decision-making expected at the CCDE level.Work through evolving business requirements, technical constraints, architecture trade-offs, exhibits, and unexpected changes then compare your decisions against detailed answers and design rationale.Built for experienced network engineers and architects who want to sharpen their design judgment, challenge their assumptions, and prepare for advanced real-world network design.

In a galaxy not so far, far away… You have just received a set of requirements—or desires disguised as requirements—wild needs or want statements vaguely describing some notion of what the system should do. Now what? Where do you start with the specifications? Rule One: Don’t Panic, and reach for Engineering on Purpose!

Linux is one of the best decisions you can make for your computer — but knowing where to start is the hard part. This guide walks you through everything: choosing a distribution, installing it, and using it confidently every day. It was written by Jay LaCroix of Learn Linux TV, for complete beginners. No prior experience required.

AI can write code fast, but getting reliable software still starts with clear thinking. This book shows how to turn ideas into precise specifications, then use AI assistants and autonomous agents to build, test and maintain real-world software. Follow a complete project from business problem to production and learn a practical approach to AI-assisted development.

Most organisations are trying to fix the wrong things. This book names the dysfunctions they keep running into and explains, through Open Systems Theory, why they keep coming back.

This book provides a practical guide to critical data science methods, focusing on their application in credit risk management. Using examples in R and Python, it presents step-by-step processes for applying various analytical techniques while highlighting the importance of aligning methods with the specific characteristics of the data. Designed for practitioners and those with foundational data science and banking knowledge, the book bridges theory and practice with real-world examples.

The goal of this particular book is to give you some amazing Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) tips from the experts you come to see in person at the MVPDays Roadshow. This book has been used by MVP Dave Kawula as a starter for each of his Storage Spaces Direct Projects.

Build real-world web applications faster with Claude Code by your side. This hands-on guide takes you from web development fundamentals to production-ready full-stack engineering with React, Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL. Learn practical AI-assisted workflows while building, testing, securing and deploying applications that are ready for real users.

Real attacks don't live in slide decks. They live in the stack, the heap, the kernel. This code-first guide takes practitioners who already know C straight into how modern exploits and malware actually work, pairing every offensive technique with the defense built to stop it. Rigorous, hands-on, and strictly for isolated, legal, ethical lab use.

Somewhere there is a server with two GPUs for which no operational process exists. This book turns that into an operable platform — hands-on, in 23 labs: vLLM, KServe, LiteLLM, the NVIDIA GPU Operator, Keycloak, OpenBao, ArgoCD, pgvector. At the end your developers write code with local and external models through a governed gateway.

C++20 is the next big C++ standard after C++11. As C++11 did it, C++20 changes the way we program modern C++. This change is, in particular, due to the big four of C++20: ranges, coroutines, concepts, and modules.

C++11 is the first C++ standard that deals with concurrency. The story goes on with C++17, C++20, and will continue with C++23. I'll give you a detailed insight into the current and the upcoming concurrency in C++. This insight includes the theory and a lot of practice.

Approaching PHP from a functional perspective. Yes, really. (With just a pinch of category theory.)
