This book is for engineering leaders and experienced developers who want to build serious software with AI—and actually unlock the leverage it offers. It introduces a clear, step-by-step workflow that makes this approach reliable, repeatable, and scalable. You’ll learn a practical, disciplined approach to building applications—not with AI as a co-pilot, but as the primary developer.

This provocative book introduces a brand-new view of technology. It suggests that technology as a whole is not a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies. Kevin Kelly looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover "what it wants." He uses vivid examples from the past to trace technology's long course and then follows a dozen trajectories of technology into the near future to project where technology is headed.

A fascinating exploration of the science of the impossible—from death rays and force fields to invisibility cloaks—revealing to what extent such technologies might be achievable decades or millennia into the future. One hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers, televisions...

Factories create massive amounts of data from IoT sensors, MES, SCADA, quality systems, supply chain, maintenance, and others. Yet most organizations can’t turn it into decisions fast enough. The result is reactive firefighting and AI pilots that stall. The Unified Manufacturing Data Architecture (UMDA) is a practical framework built for industry, not adapted from IT. It shows you how to handle real-time streams, integrate legacy systems, enforce security, and scale AI across sites.

How we ultimately gained the American Customary System, the last traditional system in the world, and how Gunter's chain indelibly imprinted its dimensions on the land, on cities, and on our culture from coast to coast is both an exciting human and intellectual drama and one of the great untold stories in American history. Sagely argued and beautifully written, Measuring America offers readers nothing less than the opportunity to see America's history, and our democracy, in a brilliant new light.
