In this book Susanne Kaiser looks at how to design and build adaptive systems that can handle change. By combining Wardley Mapping, Domain-Driven Design, and Team Topologies, this book offers a comprehensive toolset for organizations to anticipate change. Drawing from historical examples of companies that failed to adapt, Kaiser emphasizes that optimization requires treating organizations as socio-technical systems where social and technical aspects are aligned and designed together.

This book, with the subtitle "Why Human Creativity Still Wins in the AI Revolution" looks at the past and future of creativity, showing why flaws, grit, and the human voice still matter in an age of machine-made everything. Micah Voraritskul traces the arc from the printing press to generative AI and reveals how each wave of innovation reshapes what we create, how we connect, and what we decide is worth keeping. With stories, cultural insight, and sharp reflection, Voraritskul argues that the human voice — with all its texture and imperfection — remains the most powerful force we have.

This book introduces the statistical and quantitative methods that will help programmers go beyond “gut feeling” for tasks like predicting stock prices or assessing quality control, with examples using the rich tools of the Python ecosystem. Gary Sutton blends the theory behind these statistical techniques with practical Python-based applications, offering structured, reproducible, and defensible methods for tackling complex decisions.

This book aims to make stats approachable by combining clear explanations with practical applications. Joseph Schmuller shows how to download and use R and RStudio - two free, open-source tools - to learn statistics concepts, create graphs, test hypotheses, and draw meaningful conclusions. The book starts with the basics of statistics and R, and goes on to show how to calculate descriptive statistics, and use inferential statistics to test hypotheses. Then, visualize it all with graphs and charts.

In this guide Robert Henning systematically addresses challenges such as getting to grips with how nodes and scenes work while learning a new interface along with GDScript. Henning starts with nodes and scenes, Godot’s way of organizing everything, then explores both 2D and 3D game creation, adding key elements such as players, enemies, collectibles, and lighting effects that make games pop visually. Later chapters get hands-on with Godot’s scripting language, GDScript, to bring game ideas to life.

This book shows how adding WiFi to the Raspberry Pi Pico turns this low-cost, small form factor device into a true IoT device. Harry Fairhead explains how the extra capabilities added to the Pico W open up loads of opportunities, but only if you are prepared to do battle with the two libraries that provide networking and security – Lightweight Internet Protocol (lwIP) and Mbed Transport Layer Security (mbedTLS), respectively. This book provides a guide to these libraries along with examples of what you can do with them - information that isn't readily available. This second edition has been updated to cover the second generation Pico 2W as well as the original Pico W and has been extended to cover FreeRTOS, which offers significant advantages when working with lwIP and mbedTLS.

In this book, subtitled "Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism", Leif Weatherby presents a new theory of meaning in language and computation, arguing that humanistic scholarship misconstrues how large language models (LLMs) function. Seeing LLMs as a convergence of computation and language, Weatherby contends that AI does not simulate cognition, as widely believed, but rather creates culture. This evolution in language, he finds, is one that we are ill-prepared to evaluate, as what he terms “remainder humanism” counterproductively divides the human from the machine without drawing on established theories of representation that include both.

This is a hands-on guide for developers who want to master the command line; not just to get around, but to build a fast, flexible, and portable development environment. Dave Kerr says this isn’t a tour of shell commands; it’s a blueprint for creating workflows that scale across machines, teams, and projects. The book goes from keystroke-level efficiency to composing powerful pipelines, writing reliable scripts, and automating common development tasks. Later chapters take it further: managing your configuration with Git, customizing your shell setup, and working seamlessly across remote sessions using tools like Vim and tmux.
