Learn to create native Android apps with Jetpack Compose and Kotlin. This practical guide takes you from scratch to building a complete app with navigation and animations.

Stop writing code that only works on your laptop.Your O(n²) sorting algorithm runs fine on an i9 processor. But on a Cortex-M4 with 2KB of RAM? It crashes the stack.AlgoEmbedded is the first textbook that stops teaching "Computer Science" and starts teaching Embedded Engineering. Learn how to adapt standard algorithms for the constraints of the real world.

Brain exhausted by an infinite loop of thoughts? Learn the ancient art of a "Total System Reset."

Spring Boot 4 changes everything you thought you knew about building Java applications. Virtual threads make blocking code fast again. Native images deliver instant startup. First-class API versioning finally solves the "how do we evolve our APIs?" problem. But here's the catch: upgrading isn't just a dependency bump. Jakarta EE 11, new auto-configuration patterns, GraalVM constraints, and reactive vs. virtual threads— getting it right requires understanding the *why* behind every change. This book is your production-ready guide to Spring Boot 4 and Spring Framework 7. Written for intermediate developers who need more than "hello world" tutorials. Learn how to: • Build cloud-native microservices that scale • Migrate from Boot 3 safely and incrementally • Design APIs with built-in versioning and resilience • Choose between reactive, virtual threads, and native images • Secure distributed systems with JWT and OAuth2 • Implement observability that actually helps you debug production issues 300+ pages. 27 chapters. Real code. Real architecture. Real problems solved.

A Unified Theory of Influence—From Ancient Persuaders to AI Futures Influence is everywhere: in the parent teaching a child, the advertiser crafting a message, the algorithm curating a feed, the state deploying propaganda. Yet we lack a comprehensive framework for understanding influence across these domains. This book provides one. Influencers and the Influenced integrates memetic theory—the study of cultural replicators—with persuasion psychology and network science to explain how ideas, beliefs, and behaviors spread through populations. The analysis spans from humanity’s earliest influencers (parents, priests, teachers) through the contemporary landscape of social media creators to speculative futures involving artificial intelligence and post-human cognition.

Throughout the book, we use a car-search platform as a unifying example. From ingestingdata about car listings to enriching, it with analytics and providing real-time search results, thisplatform showcases the challenges and opportunities of modern data platforms. By followingits journey, you will gain actionable insights that can be applied to a wide range of domains.Building the software platforms is not just about technology; it’s about solving real-worldproblems with creativity within the given guardrails both financial or engineering. This bookwill be guiding you through every phase of design, implementation, and evolution. Let’s buildthe future of data platforms together.

A beginner-friendly introduction to TypeScript for no-code and AI-assisted developers. Learn the fundamentals properly and build confidence beyond copy-paste code.

Aprende a crear apps nativas para Android con Jetpack Compose y Kotlin. Esta guía práctica te lleva desde cero hasta construir una aplicación completa con navegación y animaciones.

Modern tools are powerful.Our thinking is not always prepared for them.Automation reduces effort, but often replaces judgment.Speed creates relief, but not clarity.Systems solve tasks while quietly shaping decisions we never examine.Tools Beyond Limits is not a guide to using technology better.It is a guide to understanding where tools should stop—and where responsibility must remain human.This book explores why many digital products feel impressive yet leave users confused, dependent, or unsure. It examines AI, software, learning platforms, and automation through one lens: how tools influence thinking before outcomes appear.If you use modern tools daily and sense that something important is being lost beneath efficiency, this book is written for you.
