High Performance Unity Game Development
Modern games need to be smooth, high-framerate experiences with deep gameplay that keeps users hooked for years. Data-oriented design takes advantage of modern CPUs to upgrade game performance, easily outpacing traditional object-oriented programming. This book reveals how you can bring this powerful programming approach to your own projects. You’ll discover both the essential theory behind DOD, and put it into practice to develop a complete game project.

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.

General purpose LLMs are not optimized for specific domains and business goals. Using techniques like specialized fine-tuning, pruning unnecessary neural components, and knowledge distillation, you can rearchitect your models to cost less, run faster, and deliver more accurate results. This book turns research from the latest AI papers into production-ready practices for domain-specific model optimization.

Author and Spring team member Daniel Garnier-Moiroux helps you build a solid mental model of what’s happening in your Spring Boot test suite. You'll learn how to organize fast, reliable, and predictive testing pipelines, test web applications at the API and browser levels, and reliably validate the configuration, binding logic, and properties of Spring Boot applications. Throughout the book, you’ll test and work with an increasingly sophisticated example application, tackling more complex use cases until you’re ready to put your new skills into production!

A friendly guide for programmers and other curious people
A fast-paced introduction to the foundational ideas of software architecture, written for developers and aspiring architects. Creative illustrations and diagrams, hilarious disaster stories, “in action” missions, and a full repo of example code, teach you how to spot design mistakes and understand architectural tradeoff decisions. Along the way, you’ll also explore author Matt Erman’s 5-step Architectural Thinking Process for reliably turning vague business requests into clear, defensible technical decisions.

AI algorithms are the backbone of search and optimization problems, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and, of course, generative AI. But knowing which algorithm to use—and why—is often harder than writing the code itself. This book illuminates the algorithms behind modern generative AI with clear explanations, step-by-step code examples, and beautifully simple illustrations. [Read more]
Precision layout and animation
Author Paul McFedries makes it clear how math, carefully applied in CSS and JavaScript, solves everyday design problems such as distributing space, choosing accessible colors, positioning elements, and making animation feel natural. When you understand the calculations behind color, geometry, and motion, you can design with more precision, debug behavior more confidently, and create interfaces that are both attractive and functional. [Read more] Software Security for Developers With examples in Java and Spring
There’s no quick fix for security. It’s an engineering discipline, complete with tradeoffs, ownership boundaries, and operational consequences. This book teaches you the nuts-and-bolts of securing applications in modern environments. Rather than trusting in defaults, you’ll learn the security tools and practices proven to help defend your systems. [Read more] Event-driven architecture, logs, microservices, real-time event processing
Architects across industries are turning to Kafka for its unparalleled speed, reliability, and scalability. In this book, author Katya Gorshkova lays out how Kafka fits into complex system designs, expertly illustrating how you can use Kafka for effective logging, telemetry, microservices communication, and more in event driven enterprise applications.

WebAssembly (Wasm) revolutionized frontend development by enabling secure, high-performance code in the browser. Now it’s doing the same for backend infrastructure as a platform for lightweight, portable applications that run anywhere. In this book, you’ll learn how to build production-grade server-side apps using Wasm. [Read more] More HALF OFF print books
