Vim is more than a clever way to edit text. It is a compact language for transforming it, built for speed, composability and control. This book takes you from modal editing to real-world workflows across Git, SSH, LSPs, servers and automation, while showing where Vim fits and where it does not.

"Your reflection fades. Your character remains."In a world obsessed with filters, appearances, and approval—here is the reminder you’ve been waiting for: beauty was never meant to be skin deep.Whether you’re tired of chasing an ever-moving standard, comparing yourself to strangers on a screen, or simply longing to know your worth runs deeper than what meets the eye—this book is for you. Through warm, honest, and practical guidance, Dr. Kompri shows how to build a beauty that time cannot touch: integrity that holds when no one is watching, kindness that outlasts memory, and confidence rooted not in validation, but in who you truly are.

Your dashboard is lying to you, not with bad data, but with the wrong questions.Data-Informed, Not Data Blind is a practical guide to reading analytics and running experiments the way experienced product teams should: rigorously, honestly, and with enough humility to catch your own mistakes before they cost you a quarter's worth of engineering time.

Cinco sistemas independientes sitúan a Xu Wen en la escena de un crimen. Para demostrar que no estuvo allí, deberá probar primero que los cinco testigos comparten una sola fuente.

Profit does not have to come at the expense of people — and purpose does not have to depend on charity.Somewhere between the business that only counts money and the charity that never counts on itself, a third way is emerging. It is not philanthropy with a product line, nor branding with a heart. It is a fundamentally different kind of venture — one where the core operation itself creates impact, where sustainability and mission are built into the same mechanism.This is not a dream. It is a discipline. And it can be learned.From problem diagnosis to responsible scaling, from mission-locked governance to honest impact measurement — here is the complete practical guide to building ventures that do well by doing good. No fluff, no hollow promises — just the design choices, structures, and leadership that turn conviction into something durable.

Explore the Software, Computing Architectures, Data Pipelines, and High-Performance Systems Behind Modern High-Energy PhysicsCERN is more than a particle physics laboratory. It operates one of the world's most demanding scientific computing environments, bringing together extreme data rates, heterogeneous hardware, distributed storage, high-performance networking, real-time processing, large-scale simulation, machine learning, and advanced software engineering.Coding CERN: A Technical Developer's Guide explores the computing architecture behind experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), connecting detector electronics and real-time trigger systems with modern C++, ROOT, distributed computing, GPU acceleration, machine learning, high-performance computing, and global scientific infrastructure.The book takes a developer-oriented approach to the complete scientific computing pipeline, examining how physical events become digital signals, how those signals are filtered and reconstructed, and how the resulting data is stored, distributed, simulated, and analyzed across geographically dispersed computing facilities.

Your work has changed — your skills can keep pace. From AI assistants and data spreadsheets to remote teams and digital portfolios, the expectations for every professional have shifted overnight. This book does not ask you to become a computer scientist; it gives you exactly the practical, usable foundation you need to work confidently, communicate clearly, and grow resilient in a digital-first world. No jargon, no overload — just the skills you will actually use, one practice at a time.

People do not buy from arguments—they buy from people they trust. This book transforms selling from a skill of persuasion into a discipline of service: listening first, uncovering real needs, and building value that lasts far beyond a single transaction. Whether you are new to sales, leading a team, or refining your approach, here is the framework to become the trusted adviser buyers seek—one honest conversation at a time.

Software supply chains are now a critical attack surface. The Software Trust Chain explores how to secure code, dependencies, builds, CI/CD, containers and deployments in the age of generative AI and autonomous coding agents, focusing on practical engineering principles that remain useful as tools and platforms change.

Engineering ultra-low-latency, high-throughput real-time systems with .NET, WebSockets, SignalR, Kestrel, and distributed architectures.Modern real-time applications must maintain persistent connections, process massive event streams, synchronize distributed state, and deliver predictable latency under extreme concurrency.High-Performance Real-Time Systems in .NET is a deep technical guide to designing, optimizing, profiling, and operating real-time systems built on the modern .NET ecosystem.Rather than treating real-time communication as a simple framework feature, this book examines the entire engineering stack, from memory management and network transports to WebSockets, SignalR internals, distributed messaging, Kubernetes, observability, and large-scale load testing.

Agentic AI is everywhere, but what does it actually mean? This book cuts through the hype and explains how AI agents work, how they are built and where they can go wrong. Starting from the basics, it gives you a clear, practical understanding of the technology and what it takes to trust an agent in the real world.

Your agent writes the migration faster than you would, so most of the code you answer for this year is code you read. What piles up is comprehension debt: code you are accountable for and cannot explain. Twenty-five chapters, one exercise each, teach what transfers to the next model, the next codebase and the next job: what you are the last check on.

Build Linux from the ground up and see what really happens under the hood. From firmware and bootloader to kernel, libc, init, networking and security, this book strips the system down to its essentials while explaining why every piece exists, what depends on it and how far you can push minimalism.

A practical, low‑friction productivity guide designed for creators working in small spaces, tight schedules, and multi‑platform workflows.
