Software Engineering

Not just for mathematicians and detectives! Learn the basics of logic and its many applications, including advanced testing, constraint solving, function composition, and code proofs. Over 50 exercises and 20 sample programs are included. No prior math background required!

Legacy modernization is an evidence problem before it is a code-generation problem. Use Claude Code to recover hidden behavior, build a verification harness, and move critical systems in controlled, reversible slices without handing production decisions to AI. Includes 26 practical chapters, 86 diagrams, and a runnable companion lab.

Residuality Theory is a new way to think about the design of software systems that explains why we experience design the way we do, why certain things seem to work only sporadically, and why certain architects get it right so often regardless of which tools they use. A new, scientific approach is defined that fuses Software Engineering, Complexity Science, and Philosophy to produce an entirely new way to think about how to design software. The result is a theoretical base that allows architecture to finally become its own discipline.

Most organisations are trying to fix the wrong things. This book names the dysfunctions they keep running into and explains, through Open Systems Theory, why they keep coming back.

173 C++ interview questions. Junior to Senior. auto to C++26. Every question has follow-ups, code samples, and cross-references. A 100-day study plan with spaced repetition gets you through them all. A code-reading capstone sharpens your skills under pressure. Not just the answers — the reasoning that survives the follow-up questions.

A best-selling book. The practitioner's guide to Claude Code in production. Thirty-one chapters covering the agent loop, tools, hooks, MCP, the Claude Agent SDK, permissions, multi-agent orchestration, evals, observability, and cost engineering. Includes a full walkthrough of Anthropic's financial services reference agents. Code from real production systems, not toy examples.

A how-to field guide on building leak-free abstractions and algebraically designing real-world applications.

Stop debating code style. Start engineering code. Every developer brings personal preferences. Every AI tool channels different training examples. The result? Inconsistent codebases, endless code reviews, and technical debt that compounds silently. Java Backend Coding Technology introduces a radical idea: reduce the space of valid choices until there's essentially one good way to do most things. Not through rigid frameworks, but through a small set of patterns that make structure predictable, refactoring mechanical, and business logic visible. The code you write, your teammate writes, and your AI assistant generates will look the same -- because the patterns leave no room for subjective variation.

Software development is changing fast, and Claude Code is at the center of that shift. Learn how to work effectively with AI agents to write code, automate workflows, and build larger projects with confidence. From setup and prompt design to real-world engineering practices, this book provides a practical guide to modern software development in 2026.

Linux is one of the best decisions you can make for your computer — but knowing where to start is the hard part. This guide walks you through everything: choosing a distribution, installing it, and using it confidently every day. It was written by Jay LaCroix of Learn Linux TV, for complete beginners. No prior experience required.

The first book to combine Eventmodeling & Eventsourcing to plan software systems of any size and complexity. NEW CHAPTER "Dynamic Consistency Boundary" COMPANION ONLINE COURSE FOR FASTER LEARNING

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.

Stop treating AI like a deterministic compiler and wondering why your codebase is degrading into hallucinated spaghetti code. Agentic Software Engineering provides the architecture, constraints, and rigorous governance needed to safely transition your team from manual typists to AI Orchestrators.

A high-performance data access layer must resonate with the underlying database system. Knowing the inner workings of a relational database and the data access frameworks in use can make the difference between a high-performance enterprise application and one that barely crawls.

Master modern Delphi from the ground up and build software that’s ready for the real world. From Object Pascal and VCL to FireMonkey, FireDAC, REST, concurrency and testing, this hands-on guide shows you how to write clean, maintainable applications with RAD Studio 13 Florence, backed by practical examples and proven techniques.
