Everyone blames development for being slow. But what if the real bottleneck isn't your engineering team at all? After 25 years as an engineering manager and CTO, and 8 years coaching technology leaders through their biggest challenges, Stephan Schmidt has discovered an uncomfortable truth: you can squeeze out 10-20% by optimizing development, but you'll never reach the next level that way.  The real lever? Decisions. Meetings. The six months an idea bounces around before anyone writes a line of code.  This mini-book shows you how to measure and optimize the entire journey from idea to revenue—not just the coding part. You'll learn 10 practical rules to slash time to market, including how to build a decision culture that doesn't stall, why working in parallel actually slows you down, and how understanding MVP stages can free up development capacity.  Stop blaming your developers. Start fixing what actually matters.

Build a real-world digital banking platform from scratch using .NET 10, Clean Architecture, DDD, Angular 21 (Nx Monorepo), Docker, PostgreSQL, and GitHub Actions CI/CD. This hands-on, full-stack guide shows you how fintech systems are built in modern software teams—covering microservices, secure APIs, authentication, event-driven architecture, automated testing, containerization, and more. No shortcuts, no toy examples. Just real engineering.

The content has been organised around five operational domains that mirror the SY0-701 objectives and everyday security responsibilities. Each domain contains key references, crosswalks and short scenarios to facilitate rehearsal of connections rather than isolated facts. In order to assist you with finding terms quickly during last-minute revision, To facilitate this process, practice items are designed to pair acronyms with their respective appearances in multiple-choice questions, thereby training recognition in context.

You cannot lead what you cannot see. In AI-heavy organizations, illegibility is now the default. This book gives you fracture names, diagnostic protocols, and field kits for seeing and governing systems where dashboards lie and decisions live in prompts no one saved.

Mastering Advanced Time Series Forecasting in Python is the definitive sequel to the #1 forecasting bestseller. Designed for practitioners who want to go beyond ARIMA and basic ML, this book takes you deep into probabilistic forecasting, hierarchical coherence, and cutting-edge foundation models—backed by production-ready Python code. Learn how to assess forecastability, build scalable pipelines, quantify uncertainty, and deploy systems that deliver real business impact. Written by a globally recognized expert whose methods power multimillion-dollar decisions, this is the practical, honest, and advanced guide every data scientist, ML engineer, and quantitative professional needs to master modern forecasting.

Embedded security is an architecture problem, not a checklist.This book shows how to build a coherent security design for real devices: what embedded cybersecurity means, why it’s different in embedded systems (constraints, lifecycle, physical access, limited patching), and how to turn that into practical design decisions. You’ll learn threat modeling and trust boundaries, then the core mechanisms that must work together: secure boot and root of trust, key management, secure communication, and robust firmware updates. Early access: updated regularly as new chapters and examples are added. Purchasers receive updates.

Humanity is breaking because it has forgotten the Sacred Feminine—the energy of wisdom, compassion, intuition, and balance.
