Learn Claude Code by building real projects. This hands-on companion turns the Claude Code Masterclass workshop into a practical self-paced guide for planning, coding, testing, reviewing, refactoring, and shipping software with AI.

Ready to build GIS applications that go beyond basic maps? This practical guide takes you from core spatial concepts to production-ready geospatial systems, with hands-on projects covering web mapping, spatial databases, real-time tracking and enterprise analytics. Learn the tools, techniques and engineering practices needed to turn geospatial ideas into reliable applications.

What if learning faster had less to do with talent and more to do with how you learn? Discover the science behind rapid understanding, lasting knowledge and expert-level performance. This book shows you how to spot patterns, build mental models and master new skills faster than you thought possible, without relying on natural genius.

The internet depends on a routing system that was never built with security in mind. This book explores how BGP works, how routing attacks happen and how RPKI helps defend global networks. From protocol fundamentals to real-world deployment, it offers a practical look at the threats, tools and decisions that shape Internet routing security.

What really happens inside a neural network? This book explores the tools and ideas researchers use to uncover how AI systems work, from foundational concepts to practical experiments. Learn to separate solid findings from bold claims, develop useful research skills and prepare for a field that is changing as quickly as the technology itself.

What does it really take to build a web application from the ground up, without relying on layers of frameworks to do the heavy lifting? Building Modern Web Applications in C takes you from a handful of sockets to a fully functioning, secure and production-ready web service, revealing the inner workings of HTTP, databases, sessions, TLS and everything in between. Through hands-on examples and the evolution of Taskforge, you’ll learn not just how to make a web server work but how to build one you can trust, deploy and keep running in the real world.

Building event-driven systems that work across cloud and edge environments is no small feat. This book takes you through the architecture, code and practical trade-offs behind reliable streaming, message delivery and distributed state, with a working application you can build on and adapt to your own projects.
