  1. Build Your Own Coding Agent
    Build Your Own Coding Agent
    The Zero-Magic Guide to AI Agents in Pure Python
    J. Owen

    Skip the black-box frameworks. Build a production-grade AI coding agent from scratch in pure Python - cloud or local, tested with pytest, all in a single file.

  2. Extreme Reliability
    Extreme Reliability
    Programming like your life depends on it
    Jules May

    We just accept that software is inherently imperfect, that all software must contain bugs, and we design our development processes around that. But what if it were possible to write correct software? What if we could consistently develop clean, maintainable software that works perfectly, all the time? And what if it were cheaper, faster and easier to write correct code than to write the buggy variety? What then? Flawless software, delivered faster.

  3. Kiselev's Arithmetic
    Kiselev's Arithmetic
    A Rigorous, Student-Friendly Approach to Arithmetic That Builds Real Mathematical Thinking
    Valery Manokhin

    Most people think they are bad at math. In reality, they were never taught arithmetic properly.This book is a modern English edition of Arithmetic by Alexander P. Kiselev—the text that formed the backbone of mathematical education in Russia and USSR for over a century and helped produce generations of exceptionally strong mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.Unlike modern textbooks that prioritise shortcuts, visuals, and lowered expectations, Kiselev builds arithmetic logically, systematically, and rigorously. Every method is explained. Every operation has meaning. Exercises are carefully sequenced to develop real understanding—not rote pattern-following.This book does not promise “easy math”. It promises something better: clarity, confidence, and competence.Whether you are a student, a parent, a tutor, or an adult rebuilding fundamentals, this book will change how you understand arithmetic—and why so much later mathematics suddenly becomes easier.

    A concise, illustrated guide to algorithms and data structures, perfect for coding interviews, classes, or self-study. Covers key concepts, from fundamentals to graphs, trees, sorting, and search techniques.

  10. The Backend Validation Bible
    The Backend Validation Bible
    A Production-Focused Field Manual for APIs, Data, Edge Cases, and Reliability
    D.R. Joyner

    There's a reason your last incident made it past review. It's not that nobody tested — it's that nobody asked the right question. This book is 745 of the right questions, sorted by what happens if you skip them.

  11. DMVCFramework - the official guide (2nd edition)
    DMVCFramework - the official guide (2nd edition)
    Build REST APIs, web apps and real-time services with the most popular framework for Delphi
    DANIELE TETI

    Six years after the first edition, the official guide to DelphiMVCFramework is back, rewritten for 3.5.0-silicon. Thirty chapters, more than 550 pages, and 46 Delphi projects that compile and run. You build one real API, the Municipal Library, and grow it from a wizard-generated project into a deployed server with authentication, OpenID Connect, WebSockets and HTTPS.

  12. Build a SQL Database Engine in C++
    Build a SQL Database Engine in C++
    Through Challenges --- Storage and Query Processing (Parts I & II)
    Hatem M.

    Build a working SQL database engine in C++20 -- from raw pages to a realquery executor -- one compilable, measured challenge at a time. Everyperformance claim is a benchmark you run yourself; every unit ends with areal bug, caught red-handed and fixed. Nothing asserted. Everythingdemonstrated.

  13. LadybugDB for Edge Agent AI memory

    Vector stores don't think — they search. They find fragments that sound like your query, then forget they ever looked. Every session starts from nothing. Every context window is a memory that dissolves at sunset.But the deeper problem isn't amnesia. It's that when agents do remember, they remember in someone else's house — on servers you don't control, in formats you can't inspect, under terms you didn't write.Memory Graph is a book about building something different: persistent, structured, queryable memory that lives inside your application — no external servers, no data leaving your process, no infrastructure you don't own. An embedded graph database that travels with your agent the way a nervous system travels with a body.You'll learn how to model not just facts, but relationships between facts. Causality. Temporal ordering. The layered structure of meaning that makes memory more than a search index. You'll build ontologies that enforce what can be known and how. You'll combine graph traversal with semantic search — so your agents find not just what's similar, but what's connected.The result is an agent that remembers the way you do: structurally, contextually, privately — with memory that belongs to you.
