Jetpack Compose is the future of Android UI. Master how it works internally and become a more efficient developer with it. You'll also find it valuable if you are not an Android dev. This book provides all the details to understand how the Compose compiler & runtime work, and how to create a client library using them. You could also be interested on the Jetpack Compose Internals course by Jorge Castillo. Find it in composeinternals.com

This practical handbook provides a step-by-step guide for you to get the best continuous delivery pipeline for your software.

This book takes you straight into the Compose compiler, runtime, and UI layer, all about Compose performance tuning, reading the source line by line and explaining the why behind every design decision, then connecting each internal mechanism back to the code you write every day.

Your organization does all the right things. They practice chaos engineering, GameDays, and load testing. They conduct incident reviews and operational readiness reviews. Yet the same types of incidents keep recurring. This book examines why resilience practices so often fail to build resilience, revealing the organizational dynamics that systematically transform learning mechanisms into compliance theater and what you can do to navigate them consciously.

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.

Build games that run almost anywhere with SDL3. This book starts with the basics and steadily moves into advanced graphics, audio, input, and application design using practical, real-world examples. Every chapter includes complete code you can compile and experiment with, helping you understand not just how SDL3 works, but how to use it to build fast, portable applications with confidence.

AI is an amplifier. It magnifies whatever engineering discipline — or lack of it — already exists, which means the bottleneck was never AI's capability; it is the collaboration space you design around it. This book is a six-level progression from early AI panic to sovereign engineering: the discipline of designing the environment in which human and artificial intelligence produce work worth keeping. It moves past prompting into the practices that compound — verification, habitat engineering, specification-first development, and the platform discipline that scales the practice across teams. The habitat is yours to design. Let's build it well.

An open, technical and introductory book for the Zig programming language, which is a new general-purpose and low-level programming language.

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.

A practical handbook packed with real-world advice to help you write better code, adopt effective developer habits, and build great software.

Ihre Use Cases haben einen neuen Leser: einen KI-Agenten, der sie direkt in Code und Tests umwandelt. Die Implementierung ist mittlerweile kostengünstig, doch die präzise Formulierung der Absicht stellt den Engpass dar. Dieser Leitfaden vermittelt Ihnen, wie Sie Use Cases verfassen, die sowohl für Stakeholder und Ingenieure als auch für die KI-Agenten, die sie umsetzen, funktionieren.

System Design Workbook – Edição 2026 é uma obra que traduz, organiza e conecta os principais fundamentos da engenharia de sistemas distribuídos sob uma perspectiva prática, moderna e orientada à realidade de produção.

Go beyond writing kernel modules and learn how real Linux GPU drivers are built. Starting with GPU architecture and the graphics stack, this hands-on guide walks you through creating a complete DRM driver, from a minimal module to memory management, command submission, display support and error recovery.

Far from the madding crowd: vibecoding agents, big companies, and promises of a perfect programming language (that never arrives)... your thoughts spring from your fingers and, through the keyboard, code takes shape.If you enjoy programming, you feel it tickle your brain cells. At times, you notice that something just "clicks." It's real - the satisfaction of learning. Not to get a job. Not to make apps in 5 minutes. Not to get rich reusing prompts. But for the pleasure of understanding, of digging deeper, and of building elegantly.Zig is a young language, still evolving - and that doesn't really matter. All languages change sooner or later. Everything becomes obsolete eventually, except your mind and what you truly learn along the way. That journey begins today with the first step, and it will go as far as your time, your mind, and your imagination take you. That's the spirit of Zen of Zig. $ zig zen  * Communicate intent precisely. * Edge cases matter. * Favor reading code over writing code. * Only one obvious way to do things. * Runtime crashes are better than bugs. * Compile errors are better than runtime crashes. * Incremental improvements. * Avoid local maximums. * Reduce the amount one must remember. * Focus on code rather than style. * Resource allocation may fail; resource deallocation must succeed. * Memory is a resource. * Together we serve the users.

A practical guide to designing scalable and maintainable frontends. Learn how to think beyond components, model data effectively, shape APIs around real access patterns, and apply modern techniques like pagination, caching, virtualization, and real-time updates. Perfect for engineers preparing for system design interviews or leveling up in complex frontend projects.
