Programming & Software Development

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but deploying them in applications introduces numerous technical challenges. Large Language Models: The Hard Parts offers a clear, practical examination of the limitations developers and AI engineers face when building...

Learn object-oriented C++ without getting buried in confusing theory. Object-oriented programming can feel intimidating when you are just starting out. Classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, constructors, destructors, encapsulation, abstraction, and clean code design all sound complicated at first. But they do not have to be. Object-Oriented C++ for Beginners breaks down the core ideas of OOP in plain English, using simple examples and practical explanations that help you understand not just what the code does, but why it matters.

Stop fighting symptoms. Start finding solutions. Discover the systems thinking tools that actually work. In Signals & Levers, Elisabeth Hendrickson—former VP R&D at Pivotal and author of the enduring Explore It!—and Joel Tosi—who has spent 25+ years delivering software and a decade helping teams stop “change theater”—teach you to see through the illusions that plague every software organization. Using tools from statistical process control, systems thinking, and economic theory, they show you how to identify real problems and find the levers that create lasting change.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. You know the feeling. You push a branch after hours of focused work, confident the logic is sound, and minutes later a notification arrives. The build failed, not because of your logic, but because of a missing semicolon in a file you did not touch, a...

You’re wasting time doing things your computer could do for you. Clicking through folders. Repeating the same commands. Running tasks over and over again. It adds up. Bash scripting fixes that. With just a few simple scripts, you can automate your workflow, eliminate repetitive work, and get more done in less time—without needing to be a programmer. This book shows you how.

Learn C++ the way beginners actually understand it—by building real programs step by step. Most people do not struggle with C++ because they are not smart enough. They struggle because they get thrown into complicated syntax, dry explanations, and endless theory before they ever build something that actually works. C++ Projects for Beginners fixes that.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. For most of the history of computing, building a website, an app, or an automation required a person to learn a programming language. That requirement quietly decided who could create software and who could only consume it. The person with an idea and...

Software is no longer the bottleneck. Meaning is. AI can already generate applications, redesign architectures, refactor platforms, and produce software at a pace no human team can match. Yet most organizations still rely on incomplete requirements, tribal knowledge, inconsistent terminology, and undocumented business rules. As implementation becomes automated, the real challenge is ensuring AI builds the right thing. The New Bottleneck is not a book about AI hype, prompts, or isolated use cases.

Linux doesn’t have to feel confusing, intimidating, or impossible to learn. Linux Command Line for Beginners is a practical, step-by-step guide for new users who want to understand the terminal, run essential commands, manage files and folders, work with permissions, use Bash basics, connect through SSH, and build real-world Linux confidence without getting buried in technical jargon. Whether you are learning Linux for programming, cybersecurity, cloud computing, IT support, server administration, or personal projects, this audiobook gives you a clear foundation you can actually use.

PHP runs more of the web than any other language — and you can be writing it today. If you can spend a focused afternoon, you can go from "what even is PHP?" to building a real, database-backed website. No computer-science degree, no framework rabbit holes, no 900-page reference. Just modern PHP 8, explained plainly, one small win at a time. What's PHP? Learn It in 8 Hours is the sixth book in John Rouda's best-loved "What's…?" series, the same friendly, get-to-the-point style that has taught thousands of beginners HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL.
