In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software. But they couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, shipping an operating system (including camera software) to over three billion devices worldwide. Subtitled "The Team That Built the Android Operating System", this book by Chet Haase, Android graphics engineer tells the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. All profits from the book will be donated to charity.

This book addresses the topic of software design: how to decompose complex software systems into modules (such as classes and methods) that can be implemented relatively independently. John Ousterhout first introduces the fundamental problem in software design, which is managing complexity. It then discusses philosophical issues about how to approach the software design process and it presents a collection of design principles to apply during software design.

Subtitled "Learn by coding, 3D printing and building", in this book authors Joan Horvath and Rich Cameron take geometry back to its practical roots with 3D printed models and puzzles as well as demonstrations with household objects like flashlights and paper towel tubes. This is not a traditional geometry textbook, but rather builds up understanding of geometry concepts encountered primarily in middle school while also bringing in elements of concepts normally learned much later. Some of the models are counterintuitive, and figuring out how and why they work will both entertain and give insights.

This book provides a comprehensive, but concise introduction to software engineering, covering concepts, principles, design, construction, implementation, and management issues. It adopts a methodical approach to solving software engineering problems, that the authors Elvis C. Foster and Bradford A. Towle, Jr. say has been proven over several years of teaching, with outstanding results.

This book provides recommendations and advice for designing Ruby programs that are easy to maintain in the long term. Jeremy Evans, a Ruby committer who focuses on fixing bugs in Ruby, as well as improving the implementation of Ruby, takes the reader through implementation approaches for many common programming situations, the trade-offs inherent in each approach, and why you may choose to use different approaches in different situations. The aim is to impart the skills you need to design robust, high-performance, scalable, and maintainable Ruby applications.

Most developers know little about how programming languages are designed and implemented. In this book Robert Nystrom sets out to show that a better understanding of how programming languages are built will make you a stronger software engineer and teach you concepts and data structures you'll use the rest of your coding days. He says you might even have fun.
