This book invites the reader to see their business differently. Not as a collection of teams and tasks, but as a complex adaptive system. One that’s constantly shifting, often in ways they can’t see or predict. Kathy Keating, Etienne de Bruin and Scott Graves argue that beneath every team dynamic, delivery delay, or organizational bottleneck is a hidden world shaping outcomes. And unless you can see that world, you’re destined to repeat the same frustrating patterns, over and over again, as you grow.

This GPU programming book shows how to use parallelism to accelerate computations. The first section introduces the concept of parallelism and provides practical advice on how to think about and utilize it effectively. Starting with a basic GPU program, readers then gain hands-on experience in managing the device. This foundational knowledge is then expanded by parallelizing the program to illustrate how GPUs enhance performance.

We think of the Internet as wireless, but its true foundation lies in the ocean’s depths, where nearly 900,000 miles of fiber-optic cables quietly pulse with all the world’s information. In this book, subtitled "The Fragile Cables that Connect our World", Samanth Subramanian travels from remote Pacific islands to secretive cable-laying operations to reveal the astonishing world of undersea infrastructure. He reveals the fate of Tonga after a volcanic eruption severs its only undersea link to the Internet, meets the men and women engaged in the fiendishly complex work of laying submarine cables, and scrutinizes the acts of “grey zone warfare,” in which ghost ships cut the cables of other countries.

In this book Amar Mahmutbegovic shows how to harness zero-cost abstractions, compile-time checks, and powerful modern C++ capabilities to preserve performance while achieving safer, cleaner code. This book bridges the gap between traditional C and advanced C++. The book covers essential C++ concepts before exploring advanced topics such as templates, strong typing, error handling, compile-time computation, and RAII. Through practical examples, readers implement a sequencer, write a type-safe HAL, and apply patterns like Command, State, and Observer to solve common embedded development problems.

In this book, David Kopec explores the deeper principles behind code, such as how programming languages are implemented, what does an interpreter really do, and how does the microprocessor execute instructions at a fundamental level. The book is aimed at experienced Python programmers who want to fill in those gaps; not through abstract lectures, but through carefully designed projects that bring core CS concepts to life.

In this book Daniel Temkin challenges conventional definitions of language, code, and computer, showing the potential of esolangs—or esoteric programming languages—as pure idea art. The languages in this volume ask programmers to write code in the form of prayer to the Greek gods, or as a pattern of empty folders, or to type code in tandem with another programmer, each with one hand on the keyboard, their rhythm and synchrony signifying computer action.

In this book Ole Olesen-Bagneux of Actian shows how to masterfully manage metadata repositories by properly coordinating them, arguing that until now, most repositories have been implemented in isolation from one another, but that practice lies at the core of problems with data management in many companies today. Better management requires a data discovery team to increase insights for all key players in enterprise data management, from the CIO and CDO to enterprise and data architects. Coordinating these repositories will help you and your organization democratize data and excel at data management.
