Books

This book provides an introduction to the high-level concepts behind query engines and walks through all aspects of building a fully working SQL query engine in Kotlin.

Master distributed systems through visual diagrams — from clock drift and CAP to Paxos, Raft, and distributed transactions, explained with clear illustrations instead of dense academic papers.

AI governance is moving from principle to practice. This hands-on guide shows you how to build, implement and certify an ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system with confidence. From clause-by-clause guidance to practical templates, integration strategies and real-world scenarios, it turns a complex standard into a clear path from foundation to certification.

Scheme looks simple by design, but beneath its tiny core lies a remarkably powerful way of thinking about programs. Essential Scheme takes you from your first expression to continuations, macros and interpreters, revealing the ideas behind the language along the way. Clear examples and careful explanations make Scheme’s deepest concepts approachable.

Master Dart from the ground up with clear explanations, practical examples and real-world techniques. Explore everything from core language features to advanced patterns, async programming, isolates and modern Dart 3.x tools that help you build fast, reliable apps for Flutter, the web, servers and the command line.

Discover the power of Common Lisp through a clear, practical guide that takes you from your first S-expression to advanced macros, CLOS and the condition system. Learn not just how Lisp works but why it remains one of the world's most influential programming languages.

Learn ontology engineering from the ground up in Protege, using the classic Pizza.owl tutorial, and see how it connects to a modern framework for building executable semantic systems.

Take your Flutter skills from beginner to professional with a practical guide to building production ready applications. Learn Dart, master Flutter's core concepts, integrate real world services, optimize performance, and confidently publish polished apps to the App Store and Google Play.

This book is a practical guide to building and running local AI systems in 2026. Learn how to choose hardware, run modern LLMs, build RAG pipelines and AI agents, and deploy secure, efficient infrastructure while keeping full control of your models and data.

Stop treating AI like a chatbot. Learn to exploit Prompt Injections, automate OSINT, write evasive payloads, and build autonomous defensive agents in this hands-on technical manual.

Build GPT-2, Llama 3, and DeepSeek from scratch in PyTorch. Every chapter has runnable end-to-end code and loads real pretrained weights. Goes well past where most LLM tutorials stop.

Capable people drift into failure through accumulated lapses in attention. By the time collapse becomes visible, erosion has been active for years. Ishi is the discipline that interrupts drift before collapse forces correction.

Stop debating code style. Start engineering code. Every developer brings personal preferences. Every AI tool channels different training examples. The result? Inconsistent codebases, endless code reviews, and technical debt that compounds silently. Java Backend Coding Technology introduces a radical idea: reduce the space of valid choices until there's essentially one good way to do most things. Not through rigid frameworks, but through a small set of patterns that make structure predictable, refactoring mechanical, and business logic visible. The code you write, your teammate writes, and your AI assistant generates will look the same -- because the patterns leave no room for subjective variation.

Master AI-powered infrastructure automation with this hands-on guide to building production-ready MCP servers and AI agents in Go. Transform from manual AWS operations to intelligent automation that understands your environment and makes smart decisions while keeping humans in control.
