SolidJS is one of the fastest-growing reactive UI libraries—blazing fast, predictable, and simple to use. SolidJS: The Complete Guide takes you from first steps to production-ready applications, covering everything from signals, effects, and JSX rules to routing, SSR, and SolidStart. You’ll also master Solid Router for navigation and SolidStart for building full-stack apps, with plenty of real-world examples for hands-on practice. Whether you’re a beginner in reactive programming or a React developer curious about Solid’s unique approach, this book gives you the knowledge and techniques to write cleaner, more efficient code.

Are you a VP or Head of Engineering considering the best quality engineering model for your company? Are you a director of Engineering tasked with rolling out a Quality Coach Model? Are you a test lead or software tester shifting to a quality coach role? The Quality Coach Handbook is your practical guide to shifting to a model where the whole team owns quality and in particular software engineers design, build, test and support software. Print version: Paperback and hardcover are available on Amazon. Use your country's Amazon site (e.g., Amazon.com.au for Australia) to minimise shipping time and cost.

Logic is the most important branch of math to software engineering. Knowing logic opens up a vast world of development techniques, from everyday tricks of the trade to exotic tools for cracking impossible tasks. This book teaches the basics of logic and nine special logic-powered techniques: property testing, decision tables, constraint solving, and more. Over 40 exercises are provided to help readers master the material. No prior math background required!

You don’t need more hours — you need better focus. This is your playbook for managing time like a thoughtful developer: with clarity, intention, and long-term impact in mind.

Miguel thought talent and care would be enough. Raised to believe honesty, diligence, and modest ambition could build a decent life, he enters the software industry full of hope. But when he’s assigned to the most prestigious team of the department, the illusion cracks. Mistakes aren’t forgiven but punished. Managers stay silent. Teammates adapt by cutting corners, dodging responsibility, and perfecting invisibility. What Miguel once believed were virtues—care, honesty —become liabilities in a system rewarding perception over progress. As pressure mounts, Miguel experiments with disengagement: ghost commits, quiet avoidance, hiding in plain sight. He watches colleagues burn out, promises evaporate, and motivation drain away. Yet beneath the cynicism, he still clings to one question: is it possible to care without being crushed? The Collapse of Care is a novel about disillusionment in modern tech—a story for anyone who has wondered why doing the right thing can feel like the wrong move.

Design Patterns in Modern Perl shows all 23 classic “Gang of Four” patterns implemented in real, runnable modern Perl. See each pattern in bless/Class::Mite, Moo, and class/Object::Pad, with tests and benchmarks you can run yourself. Use it as a practical handbook for designing, refactoring, and modernising serious Perl applications.

Most products burn millions chasing growth, only to watch users leave as fast as they arrive. This book shows you how to build self-sustaining loops where every user makes your product faster, stickier, and more valuable, turning expensive acquisition into compounding, unstoppable momentum. Stop running on a treadmill. Start building a flywheel.

 Your CEO asks for an estimate. Your engineer says "3 weeks." Your CEO responds "you have 3 days." Sound familiar? After 30 years managing engineering teams, I've learned that most estimation is pure waste—and the pressure to give "better estimates" destroys trust and team morale. This book reveals a counterintuitive truth: stop estimating so much. Only estimate when it directly drives decisions. Learn why software estimation is fractal (like measuring Britain's coastline), how to distinguish effort from duration, and why your team keeps "missing deadlines." Discover how to reframe engineering from a cost center (always fighting for budget) to a profit center (getting the resources you deserve). Written for CTOs and engineering leaders, this practical guide delivers immediately actionable frameworks based on real experience coaching dozens of technical leaders. No theory, no agile dogma—just honest advice on estimation that actually works.

The history of software engineering is a story of continuous abstraction. We moved from machine code to assembly, from assembly to compiled languages, and from monolithic applications to microservices. Each step simplified the how of computation, allowing us to focus on the what.Today, we stand at the precipice of the most profound abstraction yet: Intelligence.This book is the field guide for that transition. It’s written by someone who has been in the trenches, shipping intelligent systems across continents, from solving scale issues in Silicon Valley to architecting robust, low-bandwidth solutions in Lagos. It’s a practical, no-hype look at what works when building intelligent software.Read it, absorb it, and be prepared to transition from a code writer to an architect of intelligence.

This reference volume consists of revised, edited, cross-referenced, and thematically organized articles from the Software Diagnostics and Observability Institute and the Software Diagnostics Library (former Crash Dump Analysis blog) about software diagnostics, root cause analysis, debugging, crash and hang dump analysis, and software trace and log analysis written from 15 April 2024 to 14 November 2025.
