New MEAP! Claude at Work
In this practical book written for busy software engineers with responsibilities along the full SDLC, you'll build a collaborative workspace application—similar to a hybrid of Slack and Figma—that expands in scope as you progress. As you explore this collaborative AI workflow, you’ll discover how to leverage Claude Cowork to securely access and edit files directly in your project directories. When you scale the system, you’ll see how to direct Claude Code on parallel workstreams, focusing your time on task design, validation, and architectural approvals! [Read more]
New MEAP! Memory Safe C++
In this timely book, author Jean Frantz René introduces the foundations of memory-safe C++ using industry-relevant examples. Every case study opens with code that compiles clean, survives a general-purpose lint, and gives you no reason to look twice. You'll learn to spot the patterns that hide corruption behind those green signals and to read a codebase for the same shapes. In each example you’ll find the defect yourself, take it apart at the machine level, re-implement the fix, and reflect on what you've learned. [Read more]
New MEAP! Software Architecture Decision-Making
In this instantly-useful book, integration architect Dominik Włodarz draws on 15+ years of designing, evolving, and recovering enterprise and cloud-native systems to give you a durable framework for reasoning about trade-offs. He shows you how a team's capabilities, ownership model, delivery pressure, and operational costs change what a sound architecture choice looks like, rather than prescribing a universally “best” architecture. Włodarz’s recurring decision model of intent, forces, decisions, consequences, feedback, and adaptation helps you connect each architectural choice to what happens after it’s made. You’ll learn to record why a decision made sense, who owns its consequences, what evidence could invalidate its assumptions, and when it should be reconsidered. [Read more]
More new MEAPsHeading to the printer!66 timeless concepts for software engineers
Great software developers—even the proverbial greybeards—get a little better every day by adding knowledge and skills continuously. This new book invites you to share a cup of coffee with senior Google engineer Teiva Harsanyi as he shows you how to make your code more readable, use unit tests as documentation, reduce latency, navigate complex systems, and more.

Production-ready methods to reduce hallucination, bias, and more
Deliver financial AI solutions that are more than just a few deployed algorithms. You’ll learn to build a complete, compliant application using the kind of messy, imperfect data you'll encounter in industry. The book introduces around four complete, production-minded systems that handle the core tasks of credit, fraud, investment, and operational efficiency. You’ll build an end-to-end pipeline that assesses credit risk, use supervised, unsupervised, and graph-based models to detect fraud, and combine a quantitative model with LLM-powered news analyses for a hybrid investment strategy.

Build a DeepSeek Model (From Scratch)
When DeepSeek started making waves in January 2025, it sounded too good to be true. How could a generative AI model get such incredible performance with such low training and operation costs? In this guide, you'll find out exactly how DeepSeek works by recreating a laptop-scale version of this cutting-edge model yourself! [Read more]
CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) provides a powerful parallel programming model AI engineers can use to tap the massive processing power of NVIDIA GPUs. This guide shows you how to work within the CUDA ecosystem, from your first kernel to implementing advanced LLM features like Flash Attention.[CUDA for LLMs] All chapters of this MEAP are available now!
Build AI Drug Discovery Pipelines Use AlphaFold-inspired models to screen, generate, and optimize drug candidates
Discover the machine learning and deep learning techniques that drive modern medical research. Each chapter covers a real-world example from the pharmaceutical industry, showing you hands on how researchers investigate treatments for cancer, malaria, autoimmune diseases, and more. You'll even explore the techniques used to create Deepmind's Alphafold, in an in-depth case study of the groundbreaking model. [Read more] All chapters of this new MEAP are available now!
Data-Oriented Programming in Java
Data-oriented programming is a programming technique that enables you to precisely model domains and write large enterprise-scale applications that are oriented around the data they manage. Take a data-oriented approach to your Java applications, and you’ll enjoy simpler state management, improved readability, and no more state-related bugs!

Best practices, mistakes, and tradeoffs
Generating code with AI can feel effortless, but it’s only one part of software engineering. A production-grade development pipeline includes testing, validation, refactoring, optimization, and deployment. This book shows you how to go from AI-assisted coding to a AI-infused full-spectrum process author Tomasz Lelek and Artur Skowroński call vibe engineering.

Online image generators are powerful—but can you use them to get the results you actually want? Offline, locally hosted image generation models like Stable Diffusion give you the power to deeply customize your image with your own styles, characters, and ideas. In this practical and entertaining guide, you'll learn how to generate, refine, and customize images locally with Stable Diffusion—without needing a background in data science or machine learning.

Build consistent, accurate, predictable AI systems
The responses from Large Language Models (LLMs) are more accurate, consistent, and explainable when you provide specific relevant information, or context, to support your prompts. Context engineering is the discipline of selecting, organizing, updating, compressing, prioritizing the precise context a model needs to generate accurate responses. This book shows you how to combine well-designed prompts with smart search, content filtering, and advanced RAG techniques incorporating many types of stored data to create reliable responses in your AI applications.

Retrieval Augmented Generation, The Foundational Ideas Principles for architecting reliable and verifiable AI
This book illuminates techniques that empower systems to retrieve intelligently, evaluate themselves, and recover from errors. Over 40 code samples, architectural diagrams, and industry case studies make each concept easy to understand. As you master the patterns behind RAG, you’ll better understand tradeoffs, diagnose failures, and effectively evaluate and improve your own RAG implementations. [Read more]
